There was a time where I would easily have said Jim Carrey. At his peak the guy can't be matched. When he first started doing films he was doing pretty risky roles, even with his comedies. The first Ace Ventura movie is still a great comedy which could have been a disaster. "The Cable Guy" is very under-appreciated. I even liked his dramas like "Man on the Moon" and "The Truman Show", but I think he's gotten too comfortable lately, and he's doing movies that just aren't as inspiring and he doesn't seem to elevate the material the way he used to.
