Nicolas Cage turned down ‘Dumb and Dumber’ to win an Oscar instead

Prior to Dumb and Dumber, Jeff Daniels was best known for his dramatic work, although he’d proven himself capable at understated comedy, which made his inspired casting and undiscovered slapstick brilliance even more of a masterstroke in the Farrelly brothers’ smash hit 1994 comedy.

However, we’ll be left wondering what might have been from now until the end of time, after Nicolas Cage shockingly revealed that Jim Carrey wanted him to play Harry Dunne, opposite the rubber-faced funnyman’s Lloyd Christmas. As incredible as the notion of Cage appearing in Dumber and Dumber is on virtually every conceivable level, he wound up making a much better decision for his own career.
