What The Jim Carrey Art Means For The Actor
He’s Created So Many Iconic Characters
The fan art reimaginingJim Carrey’s most iconic rolesas cartoon charactersshows just how many iconically wacky characters he has created over his career. The art embodies the actor’s ability to bring an exaggerated energy to the screen with unparalleled physical comedy and charisma, as seen inAce Ventura,The Mask,Dumb and Dumber,The Grinch, andSonic the Hedgehog. Notably absent is Jim Carrey’s Riddler fromBatman Forever, which would have fit in perfectly with the art’s cartoonish aesthetic.
However,the fan art intentionally omitsJim Carrey’s dramatic roles, including his critically acclaimed performances inThe Truman Showand as Andy Kaufman inMan on the Moon, winning Golden Globe Awards for each film, andEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, for which he was nominated for another Golden Globe. These critically acclaimed roles contrast with his cartoonish persona, reflecting his range as an actor beyond the exaggerated comedic style with which he started his career.

What’s His Next Iconic Character?
Save forSonic the Hedgehog, each one of Jim Carrey’s iconic roles included in the art is from the 1990s or very early 2000s. Though he has certainly starred in some successful comedies since then, such asBruce AlmightyandYes Manduring the 2000s, these characters haven’t become nearly as iconic as his earlier roles.Sonic the Hedgehog’s Dr. Robotnik has been the one exception to this, and with him seemingly not serious about retirement, it remains to be seen what iconic charactersJim Carreycan create in the future.
