Which comedian played the title role in the 1994 film The Mask?

Jim Carrey played the title role in the 1994 film The Mask.

Carrey portrays Stanley Ipkiss, a mild-mannered bank clerk who gains extraordinary powers after discovering a magical mask connected to the Norse god Loki. The character’s exaggerated movement, elastic facial expressions, and rapid-fire physical comedy made the film a defining showcase for Carrey’s performance style.

The Mask was one of three major 1994 successes that made Carrey a leading film star, alongside Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber. A common mix-up is confusing the film with its animated television adaptation, which premiered later and used a different format and supporting cast.
