His father Percy was a musician, who got a job as an accountant, and provided well for the family until he lost his job when Carrey was a boy. That is when Carrey's life changed dramatically. With no steady income, the family eventually lost their home, and was living out of a van. Carrey quit high school at the age of 15 to take a job as a janitor to help support his family. Carrey described himself as being very angry at his situation in life at that time. But now he is one of the most famous and talanted actor. was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, "The Tramp", and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship, as his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, and he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine.
