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.

After the events of the first movie, by law because of rats in the kitchen, Gusteau's restaurant was closed down and top food critic, Anton Ego, lost his job for knowing about the rats and not saying anything. But thankfully, for the other things that he did, Skinner was thrown in jail and was never seen again. Ego may have lost his job, but he's now happier than ever, now that he has a new job and is a regular customer at a bistro called "La Ratatouille." Remy the rat is finally living the life he always dreamt of having, as a gourmet chef. Also, Linguini and Collette are getting married. After his dad died of old age, Remy is now the new leader of the colony, and he has found a love interest. A rat named Gigi with a pink tint on her fur. But Gigi is really uncomfortable with the idea of rats being cooks. Also, a rival of Ego, who was France's second top food critic until Ego got fired, is threatening to close down the bistro. He's one of those respectable figures who kind of gives restaurants a hard time... For FUN! He likes to be unfair. Will La Ratatouille survive? Will Linguini and Collette's wedding not end in disaster? Will Remy and Gigi end up together? If there's one thing everyone should remember, it's something that the late Chef Auguste Gusteau used to say: "Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great."
