All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVII

[robkelk]

Just noticed (while doing a wiki walk from "The Naked Gun/Heartwarming")...

We have a trope for an actor who goes from comedy to drama and a trope for an actor who goes from drama to comedy.

Do we have a trope for an actor who goes from comedy to action? Mind you, the only actor who I can think of off the top of my head who did that is Bruce Willis, so this might be too rare to trope. (If it isn't too rare, though I'd suggest calling it "Bruce Willis Syndrome" for consistency with the two tropes linked above.)

EDIT: And did anybody go from action to comedy, just to complete the set? It's plausible for somebody who does his own stunts and wanted to give comedy a try.
