Memorable Character Poll #47: Jim Carrey

[G✇JI☈A]

^{Looks like he peeing on the person on the right}

The MMC poll returns after the Christmas Madness. #47 was originally going to be Clive Owen but I decided since this poll has been on a break for nearly a week I decided to go (and with full respect to Clive Owen) someone who is well a bigger name. So Owen have been bumped again (I bumped him after the Matt Damon trivia question).

Anyway Jim Carrey has been acting since 1980 by starring in crappy comedies a Francis Ford Coppola film and even a Dirty Harry film but it was not until the early 90s that people started noticing. Since then he has played a number of memorable comedic roles and a few dramatic characters as well. So get votin and you might be invited in for tea and strumpets

[Paul Servo]

While not my choice, Firemarshall Bill is probably what he's going to be best known as

[Allison Reynolds]

Been a while since I've seen one of these polls, so you get a bump.

Ace Ventura is his most memorable.

[Push R Truth]

One of the best comedy's from the 90's.


LACES OUT DAN

[The Lunch Break Kid]

I think andy Kaufman or Truman were his best roles, but I think he will be remembered for Ace Ventura and Lloyd (Dumb and Dumber) more

[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

Ace Ventura, though I really dug his "serious" turn in "Eternal Sunshine".

[Deleted]

I really loved Walter Sparrow and Joel Barish but to me Jim Carrey will always be Stanley Ipkiss as to me all of his aftermentioned goofy characters are just this character under the mask...

[rrm15]

The Mask FTW.

[Deleted]

Ace Ventura.

[Phosphor Glow]

It's definitely Lloyd Christmas for me. Mostly because Dumb & Dumber is my favourite Jim Carrey movie, easily. Just...brilliance.

[Cyborg Franky]

Fire Marshel Bill!!!
