I think Jim Carrey is one of the funniest actors 
He's definitely known for his slapstick performances, I wish he would be in more current films.
Yeah I think he took a long break when the girlfriend died
I even remember him in Living Color, that sketch comedy tv series.  He was so funny, even back then.
He has been in movies too like Bruce Almighty
I'll have to say that The Mask was probably my favorite, followed by his role in Batman Forever.
