Ace Ventura is a fictional character, played by Jim Carrey.
He appeared in two films, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, released in 1994, and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, released in 1995.
Ventura is a ‘pet detective’ who gave up his job as a police officer because he was driven by an insatiable adoration of animals, and a desire to protect them from human mistreatment. Like most other fictional detectives, he has extraordinary powers of observation and deduction.
On the other hand, Ventura as depicted by Carrey, is both persistently crude and exceptional flamboyant – an ideal role for him! The films are full of one-liners, and it looks as if not all the exchanges between the characters were fully scripted, with Carrey appearing to ad-lib on occasion.
