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.

for Dr. Robotnik in Upcoming Paramount Knuckles series
Suggested by danielanglin
After the Master Emerald is stolen by none other than Rogue the Bat, Knuckles chases her through a warp ring on his own and ends up on an inter-zone treasure hunt for it with the help of the Chaotix, a team of detectives hoping to score a big payout for finding a big gemstone. Things quickly go awry as such a powerful artifact quickly attracts attention to Rogue and she is hunted down by all manner of thieves and bounty hunters. In one of these scuffles, something happens to the master emerald and it is once again shattered. Chaos, a primordial entity made of living water, is released from the shattered gemstone. Meanwhile, Agent Stone looks for a way to revive Doctor Robotnik, who is in stasis after being defeated by Sonic in the end of the last movie. On his quest to find a means of doing so, he discovers a secret CIA database from the 70s filled with the research of Robotnik's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. Gerald's research suggests that chaos power could be used as a means to preserve life, so he intends to use it to revive the doctor. He goes after a source of chaos energy he discovers in another zone, which happens to be the stolen master emerald. He activates a line of highly advanced robot soldiers Eggman had designed for the government, the E-Series, to claim the master emerald for himself.
