Jim Carrey is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, thanks to some incredibly memorable roles. In the 1990s, he caught the public attention with roles such as Ace Ventura, a quirky pet detective, and the title character in “The Mask,” who gains remarkable abilities when he puts on a magical mask.

Most of Carrey’s roles over the years have allowed him free reign in creativity. He is an incredibly energetic actor, and he flourishes best in parts in which he is allowed to go wild. These parts often involve some type of supernatural powers, whether he is playing God in “Bruce Almighty” or a goofy villain in “Batman Forever.”

Carrey has also distinguished himself in low-key roles such as the disheveled love interest in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” While he is not in the public eye as much these days, he continues to flourish as an actor.
