Hey I thought the same! when I was watching this dude called Don Murray acting so silly and over the top, I thought: "He looks a lot like Jim Carrey".

The difference is that Carrey CAN ACT and sometimes can even be funny, while Don Murray is a pain to watch.

I can't believe Murray received an Oscar Nod for such crappy and cartoonish performance, c'mon!
I didn't know crack was so popular among the academy members back then!

That makes 3 of us! I thought he was dead on like Jim Carey. I wonder if there is a connection, or just a coincidence?
