'90s Comedy Movie Stars Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey stars in the 1994 movie "The Mask" as Stanley Ipkiss, a lackluster man who works as a bank clerk who lives alone in an apartment with his dog, Milo. One night, after his car breaks down on a bridge, he discovers a wooden mask that he takes home. Little does he know that this mask will provide him with superhero powers, once he puts it on. Cameron Diaz stars as Tina Carlyle, his love interest in the film.

Answer: Robin Williams

"Mrs. Doubtfire" is a 1993 film starring Robin Williams as Daniel Hillard, about a man who goes through a divorce, and loses custody rights to his three children. In order to see his children more often, he calls his ex-wife, Miranda, who is played by Sally Field, after she places a classified ad in the newspaper in search of a babysitter. Daniel disguises himself as an older woman in order to secure the job, which he eventually gets.

The only problem with this is that he must not let anyone, including his children, find out that it's all an act -- that is until they inadvertently find out, and go along with the secret as long as they can.

They then must find a way out, or risk being put to death.

Billy then wants to take over the company, but his father thinks he is inept, and informs Billy that the only reason he passed his grades in school was through bribery. Billy tells his father that he will go back to school and pass each grade in two weeks, and if he is successful, his father will let him take control.

Chris Farley plays the role of the school bus driver, and although he doesn't have a whole lot of scenes in the movie, he is certainly memorable in the short time he is shown, adding many hilarious moments to the film with his boisterous behavior.
