From The Very Beginning
Imagine being a child and knowing what you were going to do for the rest of your life? Jim Carrey was one of those lucky individuals. When he was around 5 years old, he told his parents that when he grew up, he would become a comedian. Interestingly enough, many actors and actresses in Hollywood start out as comedians before going on to star in films and TV. He began performing in comedy clubs and restaurants, and although not all of his stand-ups were superb, he improved quickly, and slowly put together a winning routine. Luckily enough, his hard-work and dedication paid off, and he was signed by comedian Rodney Dangerfield.

The Big Move
After touring and traveling the world with fellow comedian Rodney, Carrey decided it was time for him to make the big move to Hollywood. Boy, did the move turn out to be a good decision! He began appearing on shows left and right, really making a name for himself in the industry. In the early 1980’s, Jim made his mark on shows such as, An Evening at the Improv and The Tonight Show. It wasn’t until about a decade later in the year 1990, when he had his big break. Carrey was signed for the sketch-comedy series In Living Color. This opportunity set the stage for his jump into the movie world.
