The holiday season is now in full swing. ABC has their “25 Days to Christmas” countdown going. Surely, we can expect to see The Grinch once or twice. The star of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, is none other than Canadian Native Jim Carrey.
Carrey was born January 16, 1962 in Newmarket, Ontario. His family later moved to Toronto, where Carrey tried to break into the comedy scene. It was at a club called Yuk-Yuk’s. It was not as successful as he would have hoped. He moved to Los Angeles in hopes that he would do better there. He got a break and worked his way up through Hollywood. Today, he is firmly seated in Hollywood’s A-List actors with a resume that includes: The Mask, Dumb & Dumber, Batman Forever, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar, Simon Birch, The Truman Show, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. He currently has four films in production.
Carrey has earned himself two Golden Globes. He has also won thirty-five other awards, and has been nominated for over fifty others.
Carrey is one of the top names in comedy. He has a unique persona, and has produced phenomenal work. As comedic as he is, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for the serious role of Joel Barish in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Carrey has truly proven himself as both an actor and comedian.
