Jim Carrey

 

 

 

 

Jim Carrey was born 45 years ago at Jackson Point in Ontario (Canada).

His father being poor, he could not make studies and attended sporadically the schools of dramatic art.

 

At the age of 19 years old, he left for Los Angeles where he wanted to make career. He specialized in the art of the grimace and obtained a role in a TV show on Fox, “In living room color”.

 

It is in 1991, that he animated his own show, The Jim Carrey' S unnatural act, which was a real success. Two years later he turned to the cinema. He appeared on the screen for the first time with Clint Eastwood (Pink Cadillac and the last target). Then enormous successes came (in 1994 and 1995) which made Jim Carrey one of the best paid actors of Hollywood: Ace Ventura, Detective Dog and Cat, The mask, and his first collaboration with the Farrelly brothers, on Dumb & Dumber.

 

He found a more complex role: the very malicious and very funny Mystery Man in Batman forever (Joel Schumacher).

 

His two best roles will be given to him firstly by Peter Weir in The Truman show (1997), and Milos Forman who offers to him the best role of his career : the interpretation of Andy Kaufman in Man one the moon (2000).
