By Lea Sawyer

Jim Carrey is one of the most popular comedians you'll find in the movies today. He makes people of all ages laugh their hearts out which has earned him a multi-million paycheck for each movie he does. Not surprising as his movies are usually box-office hits.

If one were to choose his best film, people would have a hard time deciding. Carrey has worked on numerous films ranging from comedies to dramas.

His first two films that propelled him to stardom were "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective". His roles in these comedies distinguished him from the rest as a unique comedian whom no one could copy.

Jim Carrey moved on to starring in more films, which were also successful. His ability to draw in crowds have kept him where he is today - on top.

His role in the film called "Dumb and Dumber" elevated him to stardom status. In this film he plays Lloyd Christmas, a lovable but not so smart character who, with his friend, travels across the country in pursuit of his dream girl. Starring as his friend is the three time Golden Globe nominee Jeff Daniels.

Behind the series of successful movies that he made, some movies however, were not made to be very popular compared to the earlier ones. But despite this fact, people are still watching and love the films, althoughthe audiences we more attracted to the first ones. Such movies are Me, Myself and Irene, and the Cable Guy.

After the lacklustre performance in the box office, he moved to a different role, one that was more serious such as Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. His performance earned him the respect by the critics in Holywood.
