Jim Carrey
James Eugene Carrey (; born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian and American actor and comedian known for his energetic slapstick performances. After spending the 1980s honing his stand-up comedy act and portraying mostly supporting roles in films, Carrey gained wide recognition in 1990 when he was cast in the American sketch comedy television series ''In Living Color'' (1990–1994). He broke out as a film star after starring in a string of box office hits with ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'', ''The Mask'', and ''Dumb and Dumber'' (all 1994), which he followed up with ''Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls'' and ''Batman Forever'' (both 1995). The success of these five films led to Carrey being the first actor to receive a $20 million salary for performing in films, beginning with ''The Cable Guy'' (1996).He continued to have success as a leading actor in comedies such as ''Liar Liar'' (1997), ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas'' (2000), ''Bruce Almighty'' (2003), ''Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'' (2004) and ''Yes Man'' (2008). From the 2010s, Carrey appeared in fewer films, with notable works including ''Dumb and Dumber To'' (2014) and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (2020), ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'' (2022) and ''Sonic the Hedgehog 3'' (2024), in which he played the villain Dr. Robotnik.
Although largely typecast as a comedic actor, Carrey has had success in dramatic roles. The dramatic performance he first received major praise for was in the Emmy Award nominated television film ''Doing Time on Maple Drive''. His critically acclaimed performances include Truman Burbank in ''The Truman Show'' (1998) and Andy Kaufman in ''Man on the Moon'' (1999), winning Golden Globe Awards for each film. He later starred in the psychological science fiction romantic drama film ''Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'' (2004), for which he was nominated for both a BAFTA Award and another Golden Globe Award. He also starred as Jeff Piccirillo in the Showtime tragicomedy series ''Kidding'' (2018–2020), for which he received his seventh Golden Globe nomination. Provided by Wikipedia
