See the Cast of ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’ Then and Now

In 1994, Jim Carrey -- the actor of many goofy faces -- introduced us to a brand new character: Ace Ventura. 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,' as the title implies, follows a man who can commune with animals as he helps local detectives locate a missing dolphin mascot, abducted from the Miami Dolphins. Now, 19 years later, we catch up with Carrey and the rest of the cast of this comedy classic to see what they're up to these days.
