The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Jim Carrey is an actor and comedian whose physical comedy and elastic character work reached a wide television audience on In Living Color. Across the sketch series' original run, he played characters including Fire Marshal Bill and Vera de Milo, using exaggerated movement and abrupt shifts in voice to drive the jokes.
Carrey moved into leading film roles with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber. His later work includes The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, extending his acting beyond broad comedy. His sketch career remains a foundation for his film performances.
