James Eugene Carrey (/ˈkæri/; born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian and American actor and comedian. Known primarily for his energetic slapstick performances, he has received two Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for BAFTA Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. After spending the 1980s honing his comedy act and playing supporting roles in films, Carrey gained recognition when he was cast in the Fox sketch comedy series In Living Color (1990–1994). He broke out as a film star after starring in a string of box office hits, such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber (all 1994), Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and Batman Forever(both 1995). The success of these five films led to Carrey being the first comic actor to receive an upfront $20 million salary for performing in films, beginning with The Cable Guy (1996). Carrey continued to have success as a leading actor in comedies such as Liar Liar (1997), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), Bruce Almighty (2003), Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004), and Yes Man (2008). Since the 2010s, Carrey appeared in fewer films, with notable works including Dumb and Dumber To (2014) and his role as Doctor Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series (2020–present). Although typecast mainly as a comedic actor, Carrey had success in dramatic roles. His critically acclaimed performances include the title role in The Truman Show (1998) and Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon (1999), for which he won Golden Globe Awards. He starred in the romantic drama film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), for which he was nominated for a BAFTA Award and another Golden Globe. Carrey also starred in the Showtime tragicomedy series Kidding (2018–2020), for which he received his seventh Golden Globe nomination.

Averell Dalton
for Averell Dalton in Lucky Luke: The Ghost Town
Suggested by jakubduda
In 1859, the quiet town of Titusville explodes into chaos when oil is discovered. Overnight, everyone, from the sheriff to the undertaker, starts drilling for “black gold.” Fights break out over land, wells are sabotaged, and law disappears. The desperate mayor calls in Lucky Luke to restore order, but even he quickly realizes this isn’t a normal outlaw problem, this is greed gone wild. Behind the chaos stands Barry Blunt, a rich speculator who doesn’t drill but quietly buys oil claims from frightened or ruined owners, using intimidation and violence when needed. As Luke watches him, the situation worsens: Billy the Kid arrives, robbing oil shipments for fun; Jesse James starts hitting banks and trains, believing he’s helping the common man but actually fueling the collapse; and nearby settlements are mysteriously abandoned, turning into “ghost towns” after people are forced off their land. Taking advantage of the madness, the Dalton brothers seize a town and turn it into Dalton City, a brutal checkpoint controlling oil transport. With encouragement from Ma Dalton, they shift from simple bandits to power players, working indirectly with Blunt to profit from the instability. Meanwhile, the prairie is carved up with barbed wire, pushing farmers out and turning the land into a battleground between the rich and the desperate. Luke breaks the Dalton operation and captures the brothers, but Ma Dalton escapes. He confronts Jesse James. Jesse is suddenly shot in the back by Robert Ford, a gang member seeking fame. Ford attacks Luke and Luke kills him in a quick duel. Billy the Kid sets a final trap in a ghost town, but Luke outdraws and disarms him, taking him alive. A massive battle erupts among burning derricks. Luke fights through the chaos, stopping Blunt’s men and facing Ma Dalton, whom he shoots when she tries to kill him. Blunt makes a last attempt to flee with his fortune, but Luke tracks him down and kills him.
