Why Jim Carrey Dropped Out Of Phone Booth Last Minute
Funnyman Jim Carrey has proven time and time again that he has the acting chops to transcend any genre, but in the early 2000s, the actor got cold feet when it came to what would have been his first thriller: Phone Booth. At the time, he was still best known for starring in over-the-top comedy films, such as The Mask, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and Dumb and Dumber. In the late 1990s, however, he earned more acclaim and awards attention for his performances in The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, whichpaved the way for more dramatic projects. Always one for pushing his abilities, Carrey chose to do the thriller Phone Booth as his one of his next projects.
