Carrey Ditches Agency After Career Flops
I honestly don’t understand all of this. Jim Carrey is one of the funniest actors of all-time. I love his movies… when exactly was it, that he became box office poison?
Hollywood star Jim Carrey has ditched the agency which launched his career over ten years ago after a series of big screen let-downs. The Ace Ventura star has parted company with the United Talent Agency following a tough summer; two big-budget films he was connected with – Used Guys and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not – were shut down after exceeding their $100 million-plus budgets.
No longer able to command $20 million per picture, Carrey’s most recent signings have been for low-budget productions. Carrey is not blaming the agency for the split. His publicist Marleah Leslie says, “Mr. Carrey has shared an enormous amount of success with UTA over the years for which he is truly grateful. It was a difficult decision to make, but he felt it was time to move on.” A spokesperson for UTA says, “With the possible exception of today, Jim Carrey is among the true geniuses of our generation. We wish him eternal sunshine.” source

I guess it was when his films stopped being funny, say around “Mask”. By the second Ace Ventura film, he was sliding. His films just haven’t made much (enough) money for the producers.
Some of his later stuff (like “Eternal Sunshine”) has been good, critically speaking. But the bulk of it has tanked by attracting only 17-and-under males.
I realize you may not fit that particular demographic, but what can I say?
