Audiences love Jim Carrey for his hilarious, outlandish characters -- from 'Ace Ventura' to 'The Mask,' he transforms himself with each new role he plays. Now, he's taking on the grumpiest one of all -- Ebenezer Scrooge. For the 3D-animated take on the holiday classic 'A Christmas Carol,' Jim Carrey lent his voice and likelihood to a wide variety of main characters, but most importantly to the man intent on celebrating Christmas with a "ba, humbug." But how does an actor with seemingly so much spirit portray such a grouch? Numerology explores these two very different colorful characters.
Jim Carrey
It's no surprise that the name Jim Carrey promotes optimism, inspiration and enthusiasm. Always the extrovert, Jim discovered his talent for impersonations and comedy at a young age, dedicating class-time in middle school to performing stand-up routines for his teachers and fellow students. Even when his family was forced to re-locate and live out of their car as a teenager, Jim kept his sense of humor intact, along with his outgoing and charming nature provided by his Dominant Impression Number 3.
The name Jim Carrey represents self-expression, solid communication skills and an upward energy that propels creativity and artistic endeavors. Jim needed these traits when he picked up and moved from Canada to Hollywood in the late 1970s, where he began a career in stand-up that ultimately led to his A-list movie star status.
While Jim's Base Vibration Number of 6 radiates warmth, compassion and a sense of peace, it also reflects vulnerability and excessive worrying. This not only explains his self-proclaimed battle with depression, but the ease at which he can tap into his twisted, dark side with films such as 'The Number 23' and 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.' And after years of making people laugh, audiences were also surprised to see such a flair for the dramatics in 'The Truman Show,' 'Man on the Moon' and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' roles for which he received critical acclaim.
These two contrasting sides of Jim Carrey -- his lighthearted Dominant Impression Number 3 and the deeper, more emotional Base Vibration Number 6 -- often connect him to parts that require playing characters with a dual identity. The Mask, The Riddler and The Grinch all face conflict between two selves, right versus wrong and good versus bad -- just like Ebenezer Scrooge.
Ebenezer Scrooge
When we first meet Ebenezer Scrooge in 'A Christmas Carol,' he's nothing but a bitter old man revolted at the thought of holiday cheer. His Vowel Vibration Number 1 makes the name feel aggressive, and the vowels make Ebenezer Scrooge seem harsh, confrontational and hard-headed -- which explains why he refuses to see the error of his ways when the Ghosts of Christmas (each played by Jim Carrey as well) come knocking on his door. However, numerology mostly recognizes the name Ebenezer Scrooge as idealistic, and a representation of the good of mankind. Scrooge's Dominant Impression Number 9 reflects the kind and gentle man that surfaces and repents at the end of the classic Dickens tale.
