No award for The Truman Show is absolutely insane.

Funny that SNL passed on him for being an impressionist when that's basically the best thing they do.

“Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world” resonated hard.

I was an extra in “Once Bitten” in the Halloween party. Blue dress, peach ribbons in pigtails in my hair. When I saw Jim play “leg guitar” and other unique moves, I thought, “This guy really has something.” It was clear to me that he could be a star.
I saw him again in Century City. He was on the phone so I waited to say hello. When he was done, he told me that his agent just told him that he got the “In Living Color” gig! So he told me before he told his wife! lol!
I’ve watched him fulfill his destiny with a happy heart for his success.

In 2022 Jim Carey announced that he was considering retirement, saying 'I have enough, I've done enough. I am enough' - he said he would only return if he were offered a script that he felt 'would be really for people to see'.... In February 2024 he announced that he would reprise his role of Dr Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog 3'

Between Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, as well as a host of small stand-up comedians, I've become convinced that more often than not comedic talent is really just a coping mechanism for depression.

Jim was my role model growing up. He influenced so much of my personality, and I'm grateful to his existence for that.

I Love Jim Carrey. My older brother was born profoundly deaf. We are late 80s babies. My brother grew up not being able to relate to anybody he saw on the tv or movies screen - EXCEPT Jim Carrey. Because Jim was SOO physically animated, my brother had someone funny and famous he could act like. And after we watched Ace Ventura Pet Detective, my brother would come down the stairs randomly dressed in a button up and a tutu with my dad’s army boots with his hair gelled into horns, and he would act out the entire scene where they were visiting the mental hospital and he has the football and then goes backwards in reverse until the water fountain and then on his knees to slam his head into our couch. We would just die laughing. My brother and I loved watching Jim Carrey movies and I especially looked forward to my brother mimicking his acting for the foreseeable months following!
My brother became a Deaf Actor and has been in a few deaf movies as well as plays starring as the lead as Huckleberry Finn at Fords Theatre in DC and other amazing plays. He is very pro deaf community and chooses to not break into trying mainstream acting for any specified roles but he would do amazing if he did- and I don’t hesitate for a second to wonder if Jim Carrey had anything to do with my brothers interest in becoming an Actor!

He always seemed like such an absolutely sad person, even when he was at the top of his game. Like a guy, who spent his entire life perfecting his craft so IF he ever got his shot, he'd be ready.

But he got there and looked around in the rarified air and thought "I hate all of this".

Jim Carrey not even being nominated for an Oscar is a shame.

Man on the Moon, Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine…

Patrick CC, you knocked this out of the park. You ending notes were inspiring and the clip you showed of the "Truman Show" in context with Jim's actual life made me fight tears my desk at work.

[mrkeogh]

His description of being on anti-depressants is incredibly accurate.

"It's ok. There's no peaks or troughs, you're doing ok...but you're not getting any answers."

That hits hard.

"your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" . powerful statement right there .

1:27 I was in an opera masterclass once, I was 30 years old. And the woman who was leading the class was a retired opera singer. I was nervous, but I sang a few lines of an aria and she hated it. For the next 30 min. I was verbally abused and ostracized out of the class. Then, the man who was my 'teacher', a person I pay to help me, the next day, he continued the verbal abuse and called me a bad singer. I can take sticks and stones, but it hurt. And I went on to sing in an opera chorus in another city. But I never forgot those evil people and how horrible that business is.

The Cable Guy is a criminally underrated movie. It's like people completely missed the dark comedy aspects to it when it first came out.

[DukesMusic]

LOVE Jim Carrey and always have. He was never predictable, always weird, and never boring. One of my favorites growing up in the 90s.

[FrankTheTank]

I was born in 87.. I grew up on Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar, Cable Guy, Truman Show, Me Myself & Irene, etc.. What a LEGEND!!

[Tdub]

The part that stuck out is something I've done in the past. He asked himself "WHO is it that is noticing the thoughts I'm thinking right now?" That is a hell of a question to ask yourself and there are very few people ever come to a place where they can ignore all around us and seriously ask that question to ourselves.

[melanie_creates]

A lot of people say Jim is empty and depressed, but I think he’s seen the human world for what it is and has dedicated himself to calling it out. I have mad respect for this guy.
