Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey is another actor who has swiftly become a household name for his multiple roles over the years. One of his funniest roles has to be the miserable Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Nobody else could play the role of this mischievous individual as well as Carrey did!
So, you might be surprised to learn that there were several other actors who almost got the role before Carrey. The film studio considered Tim Curry, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Eddie Murphy, and Robin Williams for the role before Carrey got it. Personally, I think they definitely made the right decision!
