he's a bit to slap stick for me (his comedy) but this speech, together with him knocking on doors for Abrams in GA makes him a hero.

I have laughed till I cried at his comedy, now I just cry cause he can't be funny in the face of what is happening today!

I have always loved Jim Carrey even when he was apolitical to my world.
