FREE ESSAY ON THE MAN OF A MILLION FACES

THE MAN OF A MILLION FACES

"The Man of a Million Faces"
Jim Carrey is a man who excels at the field of comedy and acting. The reason that he
excels is that he is very down to earth, his personality personifies how a lot of
teenagers act and feel today, and he is extremely popular.
James Eugene Carrey seems to be one of the most down to earth people that you will ever
see on television. Whether it is on the Tonight Show or Entertainment Tonight, Jim can
turn any dull moment into something comedic. When I was recently reading about him I
found out that although he is a superstar he enjoys many of the same things that us
"regular people" like. For example Jim's favorite kind of food is sandwiches, chips, and
a little bowl of ice cream for dessert. He really is not in to the whole glamorous
celebrity thing. He enjoys the simple things in life. I also learned that Jim loves
cartoons and his favorite character is Deputy Dog. Jim also wears something that a lot of
men and women wear, Fruit of the Loom underwear. According to my reading they are the
undergarments of choice for a lot of celebrities. Finally, and I think this is more than
anyone needs to know, Jim prefers Charmin toilet paper. I do not know why anyone would
really care about this but it was listed as a fact about him.
Another reason that he is so good at what he does is that he acts just like the kids that
are watching his movies. After a Jim Carrey movie is released I suggest that you listen
to a few conversations among teenagers. You are almost assured the latest Jim Carrey
quote, and you can be sure that an impersonation is not far behind. There is just
something about what he says that sticks in teenagers' minds. Something else that sets
Jim apart from all the rest is his uncanny way of making faces. Sometimes you have to
wonder if his jaw is dislocated. He can do things with his mouth no other human can
accomplish. It is unbelievable. I think that the biggest reason that he is so well liked
is his performance in "Ace Ventura; Pet Detective". He did something that a lot of
teenagers and adults wish they could do. He talked to his bus through his "behind". Most
employees feel like doing that at least once a week, if not more. 
The last reason that he excels is the demand to have him in movies and to appear at your
function, whatever it may be. For example recently he appeared on the MTV Video Music
Awards. Jim has nothing to do with music, but is name alone as a headliner could have
been the cause of the huge crowd. His presence in a movie can literally make or break it.
He has starred in the blockbusters, Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, The Truman Show, Man on
the Moon, and the upcoming How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Since 1982 Carrey has starred
in 20 movies and numerous television shows. He also has won and been nominated for many
awards. 
So as you can see Jim Carrey is a very good actor and comedian. He is in high demand and
is loved by many.
