(February 2007), Carrey remarked, "If my career in show business hadn't panned out I would probably be working today in Hamilton, Ontario at the Dofasco steel mill." When looking across the Burlington Bay toward Hamilton, he could see the mills and thought, "those were where the great jobs were."In the early 1980's Jim was noticed by Rodney Dangerfield while working at The Comedy Store in LA to the stand up on Dangerfield's tour performances.
Carrey has a chipped tooth; for his role in Dumb and Dumber, he simply removed the tooth cap.
