Jim Carrey, however, is not involved in this entry. Schickadance.Ī third installment, featuring the son of the original Ace, is scheduled for a March 3rd, 2009 release. He lives in an apartment alongside many different animals, all of whom he hides from his pet-hating landlord Mr. Played by Jim Carrey during his time on In Living Color.
