Forced to drop out of high school to work and support his family, Carrey never lost sight of his comedic dreams and talent.

Shortly thereafter, Carrey signed onto In Living Color and was featured as a cast member for four years.

Impressive film roles followed for Carrey, including the Ace Ventura film franchise and The Truman Show. The actor developed a young fanbase playing the Grinch in the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
