By 1982, Carrey was touring as the opener for legendary comedian Rodney Dangerfield, before he moved to Hollywood in 1983. Undoubtedly, his retirement will leave a void in family entertainment, one which will take a character actor and comedian with a once-in-a-generation talent to fill.īorn in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada on January 17th, 1962, James Eugene Carrey began his career as a stand-up comic at just 15 years old. There are actually dozens of Jim Carrey movies, and he has been among the most recognizable and reliable faces in comedy for nearly 30 years. Carrey has revealed that he will be stepping away from Hollywood following Sonic the Hedgehog 2, bringing to a close one of the most incredible and inspiring film careers in recent memory. Not to mention, Carrey had already had a lot of success with his previous movies, including Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, so bringing in an actor at the height of his career was undoubtedly going to steal Jones’ shine.Jim Carrey’s history in film has produced some of the best (and worst) movies at the turn of the millennium, but it would seem that his time in the spotlight may be coming to an end. He also weighed in his two cents on what the cause of the problem was for Jones, who had taken an issue with Carrey right from the beginning of when production commenced.Īccording to Schumacher, the Texas native took issue with Carrey stealing his thunder with his performance as Edward Nygma also known as Riddler. And I didn’t say Val was difficult to work with on Batman Forever. But he was not kind to Jim Carrey when we were making Batman Forever.


At the time, Jones had previously worked with Schumacher his film The Client, and apparently, there were no issues on that particular set, but when Carrey was cast as the second villain in Batman Forever, things took a nasty turn and the Men In Black star became hard to work with.
