14 Actors Who Desperately Need A Hit Movie

4. Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey was one of the minted Kings of the box office in the 90s, but in recent years his activity has slowed down significantly, and aside from the nostalgia-fueled cash-grab sequel that was Dumb and Dumber To, his last commercially successful comedy vehicle was 2011's Mr. Popper's Penguins.

Carrey's recent public issues, such as badmouthing his own movie (Kick-Ass 2) and the controversial fallout of his ex-girlfriend's tragic suicide, have no doubt cooled studios on the actor somewhat, but hopefully in the years to come, he might be welcomed back, because audiences have gone way, way too long without a classic Jim Carrey comedy.

Carrey doesn't actually have any films in production at this moment, so it seems he might be taking a breather with the pending wrongful death suit filed against him, but hopefully he might come out the other side with an enticing new project...assuming audiences are still prepared to give him a chance, of course.
