If I recall he wrote himself a check for $10 million before he was famous. He dated it “Thanksgiving 1995” and put it in his wallet.
Months before Thanksgiving 1994, he made $10 million for his role in the movie “Dumb & Dumber.” He became the first actor to earn $20 million for his role in The Cable Guy.
I was obsessed with The Mask as a kid. Went out as him for Halloween 1995 when I was five, pretty much wore out the VHS tape I had it on. The worst thing was I ruined several of my father’s neckties with a sharpie trying to recreate the one he wore with the yellow zoot suit.
I heard that Jims agent was actively negotiating his salary for The Dumb and Dumber while the box office numbers for Ace Ventura were rolling it.

Dumb and Dumber was my cup of tea back then. For whatever reason I didn’t get into the other two movies.
He had a good year
Yeah, those were the days
I don’t know if this post is as “Dumb or Dumber” than the one I just read.
Jim in his fucking prime , Jim owned 94.
And that’s why he was making $20m a movie for a while.
1994 was such a great year for movies….
The GOAT
Laces out, Dan!
This was such a good year to be a young man with a juvenile sense of humor!!
Legend

Go back and watch the Ace Ventura movies. Really genius movies.
I wonder if he knew (at the time) that he was making three of the best comedies of the 90’s.
My fav comedian actor
Remember when Hollywood used to make good, funny movies? Instead we’ve had 2 decades of the same super hero movies that only children watch.
I wish my dad had been alive to see Dumb and Dumber. I can imagine his howling laughter at that movie!!!
I still think Cable Guy is underrated
What a year
And three classics too. Jim Carrey ran my childhood sense of humor lol
My senior year in high school. Glorious time to be a teenager.
“SOMEBODY STOP ME!”
Now he went nuts
Our pets’ heads are falling off!!!
Like a glove!
We were so spoiled during that time
Had a crush on Ace Ventura as a kid 😅.
Ace Ventura always felt like it was made just for me. I liked Jim on In Living Color, love the Miami Dolphins/Dan Marino, also like death metal.

Before he went completely mental he was pretty funny
Then the cable guy came out and everyone brought their kids.
oddly enough all 3 of these movies had saturday morning cartoons made from them, which was always odd because they had some heavy adult themes.
I found this gem at good ol target. Fuck Finkle.

Harry your hands are freezing
Such a good year. Comparable to Mel brooks’ 1974 (blazing saddles and young Frankenstein)
