Jim Carrey, born in 1962 in Newmarket, Ontario, rose from a working-class upbringing to stand-up stardom, then Hollywood fame. His elastic face, full-body slapstick, mimicry, and improv made him a breakout on In Living Color and in films like Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Liar Liar, with acclaimed dramatic turns in The Truman Show and beyond.
