Across his over 30-year career, Jim Carrey has done very few film sequels and has even made it a rule to avoid them, with The Truman Show being a perfect example of why his rule exists. Carrey is best known for his comedic work, having started out in television on In Living Color, a sketch comedy series that also helped launch the careers of Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Greer, and more. Carrey solidified his status as a comedy movie star in 1994 with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, which led to him starring in the more dramatic classic and arguably his best work, 1998’s The Truman Show.
