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 is criticizing the audience at the 94th Academy Awards for rewarding Will Smith with a standing ovation during his acceptance speech for best actor after he smacked Chris Rock on the worldwide center stage. "I was sickened.
I was sickened by the standing ovation," the "Liar Liar" performer told Gayle King on CBS Mornings of the viral Oscars' moment while promoting his upcoming film, "Sonic 2." King made a point to note that Carrey's appearance on "Morning" was booked well in advance of the incident. "I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse, and it just — it really felt like, 'Oh, this is a really clear indication that we're not the cool club anymore,'" Carrey added.
Smith was in tears while accepting his honor for "King Richard" in which he portrayed Venus and Serena Williams’ father, Richard Williams.
Carrey said Smith should have been escorted out of the venue for his action. King probed Carrey on Rock’s decision not to press charges against the "Ali" star for the literal slap in the face, and from Carrey’s point of view, Rock simply doesn’t "want the hassle" that comes with filing a police report along with the subsequent media barrage.
