he had left the factory job as a janitor he had taken in 1978 to help support his family and was making his living as the opening act for successful comics Buddy Hackett and Rodney Dangerfield. He  attended Aldershot High School. In a Hamilton Spectator interview (February 2007), Carrey said, "If my career in show business hadn't panned out I would probably be working today in Hamilton, Ontario at the Dofasco steel mill." When looking across the Burlington Bay toward Hamilton, he could see the mills and thought, "Those were where the great jobs were.

Early Carrer:

In 1983, Carrey headed west to Hollywood where he starred in a made-for-television movie called Introducing...Janet. Carrey's appearances on TV in programs such as The Duck Factory and Jim Carrey's Unnatural Act (1991) led to a regular role on the hit comedy In Living Color. He scored the male lead in the ill-received Lauren Hutton vehicle Once Bitten (1985), and had a supporting role in Peggy Sue, su pasado la espera (1986), before making a modest splash with his appearance as the alien Wiploc in Hay un marciano en mi vida (1988).

Big Break:

Carrey's big screen debut came with 1984's Finders Keepers, but he didn't find success until he played the titular role in the 1994 comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. From there, Carrey's expressive face, expert mimicry skills and physical brand of comedy kept the hits coming. He followed with The Mask (1994), Dumb and Dumber (1994), Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), Batman Forever (1995), The Cable Guy (1996) and Liar Liar (1997).

Commercial Success:

Carrey took a successful dramatic turn as Truman Burbank in Peter Weir's The Truman Show (1998), for which he won a Golden Globe award for Best Actor. He teamed up with legendary director Milos Forman for the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon (1999), co-starring Courtney Love.
He has never been nominated for an Academy Award, perhaps due to the Academy's traditional lack of recognition for comedic actors.

 Carrey portrayed a character with two dueling personalities (both in love with the same woman) in the comedy Me, Myself and Irene. he starred as the titular curmudgeon in the long-awaited big budget film version of Dr. Seuss' holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, directed by Ron Howard.

The following year, Carrey starred opposite Kate Winslet in Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. His other projects include two remakes: Steven Spielberg's version of the 1947 comedy The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and the 1977 flick Fun with Dick and Jane.

Los pingüinos de papá (2011), he is also capable of turning in nuanced dramatic performances, as demonstrated in films like Eterno resplandor de una mente sin recuerdos (2004) and the drama/comedy ¡Sí señor! (2008). In 2013, he costars with Steve Carell in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)
