Jim Carrey - magic man?

The other night, my friend Paul said Jim Carrey only plays roles where some kind of magic or magical circumstances happen to him.

Only one way to find out.

-Ace Ventura: No
-The Mask: Yes
-Dumb and Dumber: No
-Cable Guy: No
-Liar Liar: Yes
-Truman Show: Yes
-Man on the Moon: No
-Me, Myself and Irene: Yes
-How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Yes
-Bruce Almighty: Yes
-Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind: Yes
-Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events: Yes
-Fun with Dick and Jane: I believe no
-The Number 23: I believe yes

Overall, Paul was on to something – especially in the current stage of Jim’s career.

Take a look at this list though. Is there any doubt that Carrey is one of the most underrated actors of our time? At this point he’s putting less thought into what roles he plays, but he was tremendous in his early days. This list proves it as the first 8 movies are all gold, but you never hear his name mentioned at award shows.

…He must cry himself to sleep on a mountain of money every night.
