James Eugene Carrey

Comedian and a film actor?  These are two jobs James Eugene Carrey worked to become in his life.  The show I remember him most from is The Mask.  To me I feel like he shined most in that film.  Because he was good in that film I would watch it over and over again.  That film was actually considered to be one of his big breaks.
Jim was born on January 17, 1962, in Newmarket, Canada to Percy and Kathleen Carrey.  Growing up Jim had three siblings.  Two sisters, Rita and Patricia.  Then he had one brother, John.  Making him the youngest out of the four.  Jim first started his comedian act when he was around 15 years old.  He started his acting career in 1983 when he was heading to Hollywood to star in a television movie Introducing..Janet.  
After that movie Jim Carrey starred in other films as well.  He moved to the United States back in the 1980's.  His big break with acting was when he starred in the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective comedy back in 1994.  Jim also was in a fox series called In Living Color.  Jim was in the series for five whole seasons.

Also in 1998 Jim starred in The Truman Show, and with that show Jim won a Golden Globe award for being the best actor in the whole film.  And, of course, everyone has heard of the movie Dumb and Dumber....correct?  Of course Jim starred in that as well!  Some say that was one of his "big breaks".  I honestly didn't see why people liked that movie anyway.  Through the years 1994-1997 Jim starred in some of the biggest movies that got him out there in the world of acting.
Just like everyone else Jim has a life outside of his career.  Jim was married to Melissa Womer from 1987-1995.  From that marriage Jim had a child, Jane.  Jane was born on September 6, 1987.  If you follow American Idol, Jane auditioned back in 2012, but sadly she didn't make it the entire way through. He was also married to a women by the name of Lauren Holly, she is an American-Canadian actress.  They were married to each other through the years 1996-1997.

William Bradley Pitt

Have you ever seen the movie World War Z? The one with those zombies that freaked you out?  At least it freaked me out.. Well the main actor in that movie is William Bradley Pitt, but he is known as Brad Pitt.  This 51 year old actor is still acting to this day.  

Born on December 18, 1963 makes him the first born son to Jane and William Pitt.  Brad is the eldest of three kids.  He and his siblings grew up in Springfield, Missouri.  I guess you can say he had a love of movies as he was growing up.  I think that may have triggered him to want to be an actor.  Although acting was not his first decision.  Brad originally wanted to be journalist.  He studied at the University of Missouri, but he ended up dropping out of college.  After dropping out of school Brad went to Los Angeles in hope of finding an agent to help himself get out there in the world.

Brad was discovered by joining an acting class in Los Angeles.  First him and a classmate were going to an audition with an agent.  But, instead of the agent casting his classmate he instead chose Brad.  From then on Brad had regular acting jobs.  One of his earliest acting jobs was in the episodes of Dallas, although, he didn't appear in it much.  Through the years he appeared as little parts in different movies.  Brad did small parts to make it the top.  Soon he began to get bigger roles.  One was in 2005 in the movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He acted with Angelina Jolie, who later on he went on to marry in the year 2014; then they have six kids three who they adopt.  Before that he had a relationship with Jennifer Aniston from 2000-2005. 

Later on after 2005 had ended he then starred in Babel in 2006. From that film Brad earned a Golden Globe Nomination.  Now jumping ahead to 2008, Brad starred in the movie Burn After Reading that film got two Golden Globe Nominations.  Then during the year 2013 Brad Pitt starred as Gerry Lane in World War Z.  During that same year in 2013 Brad did some work as a producer with the film 12 Years a Slave.  Then for his work on, 12 Years a Slave,  he won an Oscar for Best Picture.
