Jim Carrey's Philosphy

An interesting article in the Atlantic on how Jim Carrey's acting is a showcase of existential philosophy. Make sure to check the video commentary too. It's an interesting thesis - and I think he's quite right.
Carrey is the single performer at his level who seems as though he’d be as happy in a Samuel Beckett play as in a summer blockbuster. Beckett would have dug him, I think—the wintry Irishman liked his clowns, the more existential the better
