Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) actor Jim Carrey may bear a resemblance to Heather Langenkamp & Johnny Depp, who acted together in the original A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984).
Connections:
- I mentioned Ace Ventura, Carrey acted in this with Courtney Cox who was later in Wes Craven's Scream in 1996.
- Carrey's name has been linked for years with the role of "Elm Street's" horror icon Freddy Krueger. Mostly just wishful thinking (as of 2025) but this thought cropped up again recently in an Dread Central Development Hell podcast with The Mask (1994) director Chuck Russell.
- Depp & Carrey apparently were considered for several movie projects over the years including, reportedly, Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands in 1990, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory in 2005 & Cry Baby in 1990.

00:38This is my second video...
00:40...looking at Jim Carrey. Previously, I noted his resemblance to...
00:45...possibly Jessica Lange...
00:47...or maybe Star Wars Addresses...
00:50...Mary Fisher or Daisy Ridley. I recently saw some footage of...
00:55...Jim Carrey from the 1980s. And I'll mention another...
01:00...possible combination. This would be Johnny Depp and...
01:05...Central Lagenkamp, who were in the original...
01:07...A Nightmare on Elm Street...
01:10...in 1984. This is the start of an iconic...

01:43...some discussions...
01:44...a link...
01:45...Carrie...
01:46...with the role of Freddy Krueger...
01:48...mostly just wishful...
01:50...thinking...
01:51...at this point, but...
01:52...who knows...
01:53...Deadline Hollywood...
01:54...Deadline Dog...

02:07...saying he had confidence...
02:08...that Jim Carrey...
02:09...could pull...
02:10...off...
02:11...playing the character...
02:12...after directing him...
02:14...in The Mask...
02:15...in 1994...
02:16...other connections...

02:18...I have no doubt...
02:19...that...
02:20...Johnny Depp...

02:22...were jointly considered...
02:23...for many...
02:24...movie parts...
02:25...over the years...
02:26...how much of this...
02:27...is...
02:28...based on reality...
02:29...who knows...
02:30...there's some...
02:31...internet rumors...
02:32...stating...

02:34...auditioned...
02:35...more than once...
02:36...for the role of...

03:20...of the work in question...

03:22...an unconventional method...
03:23...where I look at...
03:24...the lightness...
03:25...of the actors...
03:26...and...
03:27...what I found...
03:28...is...
03:29...you can take...
03:30...the lightness...
03:30...match these up...
03:32...to some of the...
03:33...anecdotal items...
03:34...and show past...
03:35...present...
03:35...if future information...
