It's probably not news to anyone that Jim Carrey started his carreer in stand up comedy. What many may not know is that Jim's father, Mr. Percy Carrey was the one who encourage his son to get into stand up, after realizing how funny his son was.

Jim Carrey started by doing impressions and got to be known for being extremely good at it.

He has mentioned before that he was able to make 150 different people. In this article we share photos of him doing Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese, Elvis Presley, James Dean, Steve Martin, Henry Fonda, Sammy Davis, Jr., Yoda and E.T. The photos are from a photoshoot by Michael Ochs from 1992.

Laughing at the ET
One. It finally hit me
When watching it
Jims impression
It did make me wonder why
Elliots wardrobe was
Often shirtless
Jim didnt just do Et
He also impressioned Elliot too
TWO IN ONE

I liked the way in the movie
ET, another famous movie
was brought in "The Quiet Man"
with John Wayne and Catherine Ohara
the one where Elliot stands on the boy and
kisses the girl

I watched the QM and it is a really funny
Irish movie perfect for around
St.Paddys day definitely a classic too
A classic linked to a classic
