Jim Carrey (born 17 January 1962) is a Canadian-American actor and comedian known for elastic physical comedy, fearless energy, and an ability to shift from broad humour to unexpectedly intense drama. After building a profile as a stand-up and sketch performer, he broke through in 1994 with a remarkable run of hits—Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber—which turned him into one of the biggest comedy stars in the world. He followed with major box-office successes that cemented his reputation for larger-than-life characters, including Liar Liar, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Bruce Almighty.
Carrey also earned strong critical recognition for more dramatic work, notably in The Truman Show (1998), Man on the Moon (1999), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), showing a darker, more restrained side to his screen presence. In later years he continued balancing comedy and genre work with films such as Yes Man and the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Alongside acting, Carrey has been active as an artist and writer, and he has remained a prominent pop-culture figure because of his distinctive comedic style and his willingness to take creative risks.
