Line 79:
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Carrey was originally supposed to be a cast member on ''Saturday Night Live'' when the original cast left in 1980 and Jean Doumanian was hired to create a new "Not Ready for Primetime" cast for the sixth season. Considering how terrible the 1980-1981 season was and how most of the cast has faded into obscurity, it was probably a good thing he wasn't picked.
** The [[WachowskiThe BrothersWachowskis]] wanted him to play [[Plastic Man]] in the never-made film based on their script. Which, even if the script was kinda crappy, would STILL''still'' have been epic.
** He almost didn't do ''[[Ace Ventura]]'' because he didn't care for the script. He only said yes after they allowed him to work on the script.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: He caused a Twitter backlash in 2015 when he used a child's photo ''without permission'' to promote the belief that vaccines cause autism (a belief which is unsupported by medical consensus). It doesn't appear to have hurt his career, though.
