So we've got Tom Hanks Syndrome when a comedy actor starts playing in serious drama and turns out good at this. We've got Leslie Nielsen Syndrome when reverse situation happens and established drama actor turns out to be great comedian. Both come with shift of played roles.
Is there any related trope when a comedy actor starts playing in action films? Or actor just associated with non-action movies suddently turns into action star (sort of like the short-lived stunt with Liam Neeson few years ago)
