Carrey was honored to play the legendary comedian Andy Kaufman, but according to his co-star Courtney Love, he never broke character. Carrey would only respond to ‘Andy’ throughout filming, even at home.

He also would play pranks on friends similar to Kaufman. Even though the film did poorly, Carrey won a Golden Globe for the performance.
