Answer: Jim Carrey
Carrey, born on January 17th, 1962 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, was cast as The Grinch when he was older. The Grinch hated Christmas and lived on top of Mount Crumpet in Whoville, isolated from the rest of the townsfolk. The Grinch had a way of getting to Whoville by going through a secret passageway connected to a dumpster in town. Midway through the movie, The Grinch went down to Whoville one day but was embarrassed by the mayor so he went back up to his home on Mount Crumpet. The Grinch came up with a plan to steal Christmas by stealing everyone's presents. In one scene during his plan to steal Christmas, Cindy Lou Who encountered him and asked him why he was taking her Christmas tree. The Grinch lied and stated there was a light on the tree which would not light so he would take it to his workshop, fix it and bring it back. After he took all the Whoville residents' belongings, he was shocked when the townsfolk were still joyful after noticing everything was stolen. The Grinch eventually got over his hatred for Christmas and became a goodhearted person. Carrey starred in the movies "Once Bitten", "Earth Girls Are Easy" and "The Truman Show".
