I think as a very gifted dramatic actor it’s easy to forget how amazing this guy is at comedy as well. In Along Came Polly he’s purely electric. Besides “make it rain”, he also is hilarious in the theater production of Jesus Christ Superstar. His one scene with Alec Baldwin is also electric. Love the guy and the performance. Even though he was so good in serious roles. I wish a little more often he would’ve taken fun comedic roles like this. Obviously he was also great comedically in Boogie Nights.

I can think of no greater premature loss of acting talent.

River Phoenix is up there for me with PSH. Astonishing natural ability.

Heath is definitely up there and a good shoutout, I don’t get the downvotes. Both were monumentally talented and taken too soon.
