Canadian comedian Gee Carrey knew almost from birth that he wanted to perform in front of people and amuse them. His father was an accountant, and the family lived well, until one day Kerry Sr. lost his job. The family soon lost their home and all their livelihood, and Mrs. Kerry also became seriously ill. To survive, the children had to leave school and get jobs as janitors. Jim, the youngest of four children, dropped out of school at 15. The search for income led Kerry to the stage of Toronto comedy clubs, and over time, the young man became a popular pop comedian.
