The name Jim Carrey makes the viewer smile and anticipation of another funny story. For more than a decade, he has been giving a good mood with his funny antics. But the path to fame of the famous comedian was difficult and thorny. At the beginning of his stage career, failure and ridicule were his natural companions. Who knows, maybe thanks to this, Kerry took place as the best comedian?

So different, unpredictable, reckless - it's all about him, the talented actor Jim Carrey, about whom you don't need to talk much, you need to see him! Glory and fame came to the actor at the age of 30. Let's try to remember his really explosive roles.

1. "Once bitten"

directed by Howard Storm / 1985The role of Mark Candell, the last virgin in America, did not bring Jim much fame. The film was blown to smithereens by film critics. The picture is practically unknown to the Russian viewer, since it was never released in the USSR. Nevertheless, the film can be marked as the beginning of Jim Carrey's acting career. As they say, the first pancake is lumpy.

2. "Ace Ventura: Pet Tracking"

director Tom Shediak / 1993In this film, Kerry not only starred in the title role, but also acted as a screenwriter. I had to overcome a whole bunch of difficulties - the lack of sponsors, the departure of famous actors from the set. Despite the difficulties, the plan succeeded: Kerry received his first fee of $ 350,000 and an award for the best role in a comedian. Ace Ventura was remembered by the viewer, and many even fell in love with this funny detective of pets.

3. "Mask"

directed by Chuck Russell / 1994The well-known role of Stanley Ipkis brought fame and worldwide popularity to Jim Carrey. Here the actor was remembered as a master of reincarnation. This image can be traced to one degree or another in his subsequent roles. We can say that Jim caught his wave. And this role has become the hallmark of the famous comedian.

4. "Batman Forever"

directed by Joel Schumacher / 1995The role of the scientist Edward Nygma, who stole the mind, played out brilliantly. Eccentric, out of measure, filled with explosive energy, that's what the Riddler should be. The film's stellar cast simply doomed it to success. Jim Carrey's fee was $ 5,000,000. At the peak of his popularity, the actor starred in the next film, completely changing his role.

5. "The Truman Show"

directed by Peter Weir / 1998Somewhere deep down, Jim always wanted to be taken seriously. Role in The Truman Show (Truman Barebank) is a tragic, austere job. And she completely succeeded. A good fee and many film awards are proof of this. The love of the audience and the box office success of the film confirmed the ever-expanding talent of the Bolshoi Artist.

6. "Me, me and Irene again"

director Peter Farrelli, Bobby Farrelli / 2000And yet, comedic roles are something he knows how to do for sure. Jim proves this again by playing Charlie Billigates, who, due to the constant humiliation and difficulties of life, falls ill with schizophrenia. Two people get along in the body, and one of them is a real daredevil. So organically switching between two people can only be a real maestro of a comedy game.

7. "The Grinch Stole Christmas"

directed by Ron Howard / 2000But in this form, the viewer has not yet seen Jim Carrey. The mask is nothing compared to the Grinch. It was this character that revealed more of Kerry's acting abilities. A villain with a wounded soul, a three-hour make-up and yellow lenses will be remembered for a long time. While The Grinch is not the best Christmas movie, the grimace and the image it creates are incomparable.

8. "Bruce Almighty"

directed by Tom Shediak / 2003To be content with what you have - the meaning of this phrase is to be understood by the main character Bruce Nolan. Why be angry with God? You have what you deserve. I managed to create a funny emotional image. Brilliant, unrivaled performance, positive film. It is not so easy to play a person offended by the whole world.

9. "Lemony Snicket: 33 Misfortunes"

director Brad Silberling / 2004Such different and very striking types, in which one of the main characters appears - Count Olof. What facial expressions, intonations, perfected movements! Better than Jim Carrey, no one coped with this role, the character has too diverse character. Again, the actor is at the pinnacle of the mastery of reincarnation. Many viewers paid attention to the actor's play after this film.

10. "Always say" YES"

directed by Peyton Reed / 2008In this film, Jim Carrey appears as a fully matured actor who has made people laugh for decades. Truly "Kerrev's" jokes are seen: riding a motorcycle with a bare bottom, rewinding the head with tape. And these are really funny things without sharp vulgarity! The character Karl Allen, who got out of depression thanks to one word "yes", is romantic, interesting, charming. Film critics consider this role to be the pinnacle of Kerry's acting skills.

Fans of Russian cinema, for sure, will be interested to know what's left behind the scenes of "Gentlemen of Fortune": how they searched for camels and came up with a new thug jargon.
