James Eugene Carrey (born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, writer, and artist. He is known for his energetic slapstick performances. Carrey first gained recognition in America in 1990 after landing a recurring role in the sketch comedy television series In Living Color.
His first leading roles in motion pictures came with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Dumb and Dumber (1994), The Mask (1994), and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), as well portraying the Riddler in Batman Forever (1995) and the lead role in Liar Liar (1997).
He gained attention starring in serious roles in The Truman Show (1998) and Man on the Moon (1999), with each garnering him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
Jim Carrey has become something of a renaissance man over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, channeling his creative energy and eccentric spirit into new movies, appearances as President Joe Biden, fine arts, NFTs and even an unexpected musical collaboration with The Weeknd. «He’s an incredible guy,» Carrey told ET's Lauren Zima of the performer, «an incredible artist and a lovely person, and I feel very lucky to be his friend.»The actor and comedian narrated three songs on the pop star's fifth studio album, which was released in January, and also appeared in the music video for «Out of Time,» in which the pair shared a «full-circle» moment when Carrey appeared in a hospital setting to put an ominous mask on the performer's face.«was the very first movie he ever saw and kind of inspired him to want to be in this thing,» Carrey said. «And boy, did he ever get in this thing in a big way… He put it to me that he was doing this thing that was the radio station in purgatory, and I didn't want to work and I was like, 'I love you, but I don't want to do any work.'»«And then I started waking up in the middle of the night -- which is what happens with me, I play in the middle of the night — and I start spitting bars, of all things, for god's sake,» he recalled. «It was really funny because I fully left it to him… I said to him, 'Use nothing at all or use a line here and there, if you want to, but I don't have to be in it, whatever.' He said, 'No it's fire, you gotta do this,' and gave me a really beautiful place on the album, so I’m so gratified.»The Weeknd certainly isn't the only person Carrey has influenced throughout his storied career.
