Jim Carrey’s Most Iconic Roles: Ace Ventura and More
Jim Carrey’s successful career is nothing to laugh at.
Since scoring his breakout gig on the series In Living Color in 1990, Carrey has captivated the big and small screen with his slick wit, hilarious humor and uncanny ability to bring people to stitches with laughter.
While Carrey is best known for his comedic roles in projects such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber and How The Grinch Stole Christmas, he has also surprised fans by taking on more serious roles in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kidding and The Truman Show.
After decades of memorable performances, Carrey teased a potential acting retirement in April 2022. “I’ve done enough. I am enough,” he admitted to Access Hollywood at the time.
However, he backtracked his comments in a December 2024 exclusive with Us Weekly, sharing, “I think I’ve decided not to retire, but to have power rests. I meditate a lot.
