Como outras respostas foram fornecidas, é verdade que Carrey teve alguns problemas, incluindo as circunstâncias, com o assassinato de sua ex-namorada (pelo qual ele foi inocentado), além de tomar algum tempo para buscar paixões artísticas [polêmicas]. Atualmente, ainda está trabalhando na indústria cinematográfica. Ele tem sido produtor executivo, I'm Dying Up Here e no final deste ano, ele está voltando para a telinha, programado para estrelar a Showtime comedy Series, Kidding .
Jim Carrey will star in a new Showtime comedy series in his first
regular television role since his days on the 1990’s sketch show “In
Living Color,” Showtime announced Thursday.
The half-hour series is titled “Kidding,” in which Carrey will play
Jeff, a.k.a. Mr. Pickles, an icon of children’s television, who also
anchors a multimillion dollar branding empire. But when his family
begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will
guide him through this crisis, which advances faster than his means to
cope. Showtime has ordered a 10-episode first season.
The role further expands Carrey’s relationship with Showtime, as he
currently executive produces the dramedy “I’m Dying Up Here,” which
was recently renewed for a second season.
The project will also reunite Carrey with “Eternal Sunshine of the
Spotless Mind” director Michel Gondry, who will direct for “Kidding.”
Dave Holstein–a writer and producer on both Showtime’s “Weeds” and
“I’m Dying Up Here”– created the series, wrote the pilot, and will
serve as showrunner. Carrey and Gondry will also executive produce
along with Jason Bateman, Raffi Adlan, Jim Garavente, and “I’m Dying
Up Here” executive producer Michael Aguilar. http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/jim-carrey-showtime-series-kidding-michael-gondry-1202558804/
