Growing up, Jim Carrey was one of my favorite actors. His physical comedy and over-the-top personalities in films always had me lined up to watch his latest project. One year, I remember I got to be The Mask for Halloween, and it was by far one of my favorite costumes as a kid, although all my friends and family eventually got sick of the 9-year-old repeatedly yelling “Sssmokin’!”
For a kid who got to watch Jim Carrey’s films when they premiered, in hindsight, it’s almost as if his movie career matured as I did, from watching his ridiculously plotted movies like Ace Venture: Pet Detective or Dumb and Dumber to more dramatics films like Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Although ninety percent of his films are comedic, his ability to add so much heart to his films still makes him one of the most beloved comedic actors from the ’90s to now.
