Dominant and Eugene

His middle name, Eugene, may not be too cool, but Jim Carrey definitely is (“Unmasking the Masked Maniac,” by Michael Walker, Summer Sneaks, May 15).

Walker’s insightful article neglected to mention Carrey’s dramatic work in the television movie “Doing Time on Maple Drive.” He has a well of talent into which he could tap, and a presence beyond cute and funny.

I look forward to his transition one day to a classical leading man working for Merchant Ivory! “Sir Eugene” would be cool.

If, as Jim Carrey jokes, he touched the face of God, God would have told him to go home!
