The Big Picture It's rare to see a comedy film taking over the cinema anymore, but there was a time not so long ago when they were the most profitable genre. 1994 was the year that turned Jim Carrey into a Hollywood icon, with a trio of successful movies released in one calendar year. First came Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, then The Mask, and lastly, and perhaps the best of them all, Dumb and Dumber.
Release Date December 16, 1994 Director Peter Farrelly , Bobby Farrelly Cast Jim Carrey , Jeff Daniels , Lauren Holly , Mike Starr , Karen Duffy , Charles Rocket Runtime 101 Jeff Daniels Had a Successful Acting Career Before 'Dumb and Dumber' Jeff Daniels was already an established and well-known actor before Dumb and Dumber. In fact, the Farrelly brothers film wasn't even his biggest film of 1994.
Three Agents Told Jeff Daniels That 'Dumb and Dumber' Would End His Career Close In 1994 came another opportunity to play the second lead with a big-name Hollywood star, and he'd even get a little bit of a romantic plotline like he'd done many times, but killer spiders had nothing on what awaited him in Dumb and Dumber.
Related Ah Yes, That Time the ‘Dumb and Dumber’ Director Won Best Picture The Academy Awards really botched this one. Jeff Daniels' Success In 'Dumb and Dumber' Proved How Great of an Actor He Is Just because he was confident in his ability to succeed with Dumb and Dumber doesn't mean everyone else was. Even after Jeff Daniels was on set filming with Carrey, he found out his role wasn't safe.
