With Ace Ventura, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber all releasing within a single year, Jim Carrey was at the top of Hollywood. But for him it wasn't enough. Instead of playing it safer and only doing films like The Cable Guy and Bruce Almighty, Carrey wanted to prove he can do more than make people laugh by giving a go at more dramatic roles. No one would have ever thought that the slapstick king could star in films like The Truman Show, Man on the Moon, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but that's what he did.
But the transition into dramatic roles wasn't smooth, and he didn't really fit in a certain place in Hollywood. And as he got lost in his roles, he began to lose himself. So today, we’re exploring this transformative chapter of Jim Carrey’s career. What early struggles drove him to take such bold risks? How did he balance comedy and drama? And did his quest for more fulfill him? This is the story of when comedy wasn’t enough. This is Jim Carrey.
