I forget who it was but I remember hearing a famous comedy actor say that the best way to play a comedy role is to forget about comedy. Play the part as if it's serious. Don't try to be funny. 

acting seems to involve a kind of humility, where you put your real self aside to do what is required for the role. then again, we all do that in our different roles - for our jobs and our families and the roles we play in the groups we are part of. ||| and it's not really a negation of the self. at its best, it's a fulfilment of our selves//
