A JIM CARREY WEBSITE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short Biography: James Carrey was born on January 17th, 1962 in New Market, Ontario, Canada, to his parents Percy (jazz musician, accountant) and Kathleen. Growing up was hard for Jim since his family was poor. And it was just these types of conditions that propelled this young star to get a job and start making money to help out. While in his teens, he had to take up work as a janitor when his father lost his job and he had to juggle both work and school. Eventually high school lost out and Jim dropped it. During these rough times, Jim used his stellar blend of humor to cope with life and to shield his anger from the world. He was a loner for most of his early life and he claims that he didn't have any friends because he didn't want any. But once he realized that this "gift" was marketable, and a good way to make some easy dough...he tried the comedy clubs.
At 15, he had enough free time to perform at Yuk Yuk's, a famous Toronto comedy club where we began to perfect his "art." After doing quite well there, he moved to L.A. and tried his hand at the comedy circuit there. It had paid off, and he gained a good amount of popularity. And once he was "discovered" by Rodney Dangerfield, he was put on tour.
Television & Movies: Jim got his big break in 1990 when he got casted as the only white guy in the all African-American comedy show, "In Living Color." On this show, Jim was able to display to the public his wide range of impressions and characters. Of his characters, "Fire Marshal Bill" gained the most controversy (critics claimed that it encouraged children to play with fire). Resulting from his popularity and television success, he was given the chance to make a real movie. It was 1994. The Year of Jim. First came Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a surprise hit that showcased Carrey's now signature wacky style. Then came what seemed to be a tailor-made role for Jim, in The Mask. Next, and my personal favorite, he starred with Jeff Danials in th wackiest of all comedies, Dumb and Dumber. There he met actress and now ex-wife, Lauren Holly. Since that formidable year, (might we say that)..Jim has slowed down a bit. His films have been coming out less often, however bringing with it the same if not larger caliber performances. Those that followed were Batman Returns (as the Riddler), The Cable Guy, Liar Liar, and his latest yet...The Truman Show (where we see that Jim is not only a funny face).
Ace and all of his Woodland friends say,"Visit the Ministry; It's swell."

This site is dedicated to Chad Huff (Chuff66951), for being my best friend since Kindergarten. Once Jim Carrey became known, I noticed lots traits of Chad that were Carrey-esque. Nowadays it is quite fun to act these traits out together. To us, Jim Carrey quotes never get old! Thanks bud~ Mike
