It is listed in the main article Jim Carrey filmography; the question is whether it should be listed in the "Selected filmography" section here. I wonder if there's a standard criteria for selection in cases like these... Liu1126 (talk) 12:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Carry died today?

Received a news article that he died? 2600:1015:A005:3806:E9:647A:729D:2446 (talk) 12:53, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, as far as I can tell. Not him nor anyone else named James Carrey. Jip Orlando (talk) 14:26, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone with the surname "Carry" may well have died today. But the actor spells his name "Carrey", and he's still alive afaik. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
