The Best of Jim Carrey's Acting Roles

By Mike Brubeck

If you asked a movie fan to name some of the best actors in comedy over the last 20 years, one of the first that comes to mind for most will be Jim Carrey. The famous actor rakes in tens of millions of dollars per move, and it's simply because of the fact that people love him.

As for Carrey's best, it's really a matter of opinion. So many of his movies have been incredibly successful to the point where different fans are bound to have varying opinions when it comes to this.

There are some Carrey lovers who may point to his earliest movies, claiming that Ace Ventura and The Mask were his best.

These both made Carrey a household name, thanks to his outrageous antics and bold sense of humor. He quickly became the hottest comedy actor in the nation, riding the success of those releases.

Other movie fans may point to Dumb and Dumber, the Farrelly Brothers production that many might call one of the funniest movies of their lifetime. Carrey teamed up with Jeff Daniels in a classic movie that had people repeating its lines for years. In fact, people still do this present day.

A few years later, The Cable Guy came out, and many had mixed opinions about this. Still, there are some who swear that The Cable Guy was Carrey's best and funniest performance. Others prefer his work in Me, Myself, and Irene, another Carrey movie that many believe to be underrated.

Carrey spent some time focusing on roles that showcased his ability to do well as a serious actor in dramatic movies too. Movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show are both serious movies with dramatic themes. Carrey took to these roles extremely well.

There are many Jim Carrey movies to choose from here, and narrowing it down to one will be extremely difficult for most movie fans. Still, everyone has that one special movie that stands out in their minds.
