The Mask Forever —Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey has become one of the most recognized faces in the world —and it

is precisely because of his face that he has achieved such fame. His rubbery

look, and penchant for wild and extreme behavior has given him a notoriety he

delights in.

Born in New Market, Ontario, Canada on January 17th, 1962 to a working class

family, growing up poor was tough for young Jim Carrey, While in his teens, he

had to take a job as a janitor when his father lost his job and he had to juggle

both School and work. School eventually lost out and he dropped out. He

describes himself as being very angry at this time in his life, yet one good

thing came out of it. He developed a tremendous sense of humour to help him cope

and to shield his anger from the world.

He was a loner who claims he didn’t have any friends because he didn’t want

any. Between school and work there just wasn’t much time for a childhood. At 15

though, he had enough time to start performing at Yuk Yuks, a famous Toronto

comedy club where he began to perfect his shtick. He moved to LA and did the

club circuit there. He soon came to the attention of Rodney and was put on his

tour.

Jim Carrey got his big break in 1990, when he landed a role on the hip new

sketch comedy show In Living Color which boasted a cast of African-Americans and

Carrey, the sole white guy. While there, Carrey perfected many characters, most

notoriously “Fire Marshal Bill” who always went up in a blaze. The sketch was

yanked when critics claimed that it encouraged kids to play with fire. The

controversy put Carrey’s name in the headlines for the first time.

He broke into feature films, and into the collective unconscious of the

world, in one single successful year, 1994. It was the Year of the Funny Face.

First there was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a surprise hit that show Carrey’s

now signature wacky style. Next came The Mask, a role that seemed tailor-made

for him and was a hit with audiences. As if he hadn’t made an impression yet,

there was still Dumb and Dumber which was released during the holiday season and

ended up on top of the box office. Jim Carrey was in the limelight now and he

hasn’t looked back since.

Since that famous year Carrey has, dare we say it••••, slowed down a bit. His

films have come out less often but have continued to make waves if not quite of

the caliber as previously seen. There was Batman Forever, in which he inherited

the role of The Riddler. Then there was a sequel to Ace Ventura: When Nature

Calls which didn’t quite recapture the sparkle of the original. Next came Liar,

Liar. The film was a tremendous success with crowds everywhere and put him back

on top. It also brought his salary back up 20 million. Then came The Truman

Show, a film which proved to the world that Jim Carrey was more than just a

funny face.

In fact, Jim was awarded a Golden Globe for his dramatic portrayal. When he

was snubbed by the Oscars, there was a collective gasp heard around the world.

Clearly the fans at least think Jim Carrey is golden.

The future looks good for Jim Carrey, he has developed a legion of devoted

fans who love his wild style of physical comedy. He has proven his ability to

weather a storm and come out on top, important for any celebrity.

Carrey has come a long way from his unhappy childhood and in fact seems to be

living a second childhood now. Canada has been producing fine comedic talents

for years, and Jim Carrey is definitely the best of the new breed.
