Jim Carrey

always knew who, and what he wanted to be; when he was only ten years old, he sent his "resume" to the Carol Burnett Show", and would perform comedy routines at school regularly. His father, a musician who had also done comedy from time to time, had abandoned his dreams in favor of a more "secure" job to feed his family, only to end up unemployed and poor in his latter years. Jim vowed to follow his dreams, understanding that there are no "safe" jobs, and wrote himself a postdated million dollar cheque in order tostay focused on his goal. He never cashed the cheque, having instead left it in his father's grave. Jim's box-office successes have far exceeded the million dollar mark. He is the highest paid comic actor working today, and his rise to fame nothing short of inspiring.
