[Discussion] character that was meant to be portrayed as "cool" by the actor/actress came across as the exact opposite? (sopuli.xyz)

Jim Carrey in "The Number 23". It was a rare serious role for him where he was supposed to be this sort of noir edgy tough guy. The more serious he got the more comical the whole thing seemed lol

I thought the story itself was great but Jim Carrey might have been the wrong actor for the role.

He's honestly a really good actor but his freak out is always more cartoonish and this movie called for a non cartoonish series of freak outs.
