Who Played Me in "The Mask"? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jim Carrey

Carrey, born on January 17th, 1962 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, portrayed Stanley Ipkiss in "The Mask". Stanley worked at a bank and was seen as a nice guy who was unlucky with love. One night, he drove home and saw what appeared to be an unconscious person in the river.

He went down and discovered a mask instead. He went home to his dog, Milo, and put on the mask and that was when he was transformed into The Mask. He wanted to find out more about the mask he had so he went to an expert to discuss it.

He quoted the expert as saying how everyone wears a mask but the expert informed him that he meant it in a metaphorical sense. In one scene, Stanley lost the mask to Dorian when Peggy betrayed him. Near the end of the movie, a bomb nearly went off at a fundraiser at the Coco Bongo but Stanley Ipkiss transformed himself into The Mask so he could swallow it, therefore saving everyone in the club that night.

In Stanley's final scene, he and Tina shared a kiss right after he threw the mask into the river where he found it. Carrey starred in the films "The Majestic", "Peggy Sue Got Married" and "The Cable Guy".

Answer: Cameron Diaz

Diaz, a native of San Diego, California, made her big screen debut as Tina Carlyle. Tina sang at the Coco Bongo one night and The Mask danced with her. After Stanley was arrested for robbery, Tina visited him in jail to let him know that Dorian had something big planned at a fundraiser that night.

She informed him of her plans to disappear for a while and then she left the jail. As she walked out of the police headquarters, she noticed one of Dorian's henchmen following her so she attacked him and ran. Dorian caught up with her and told her she would be going with him to the fundraiser at the Coco Bongo that night.

At the fundraiser, Dorian took off the mask so Tina could kiss him and it was while they kissed that she kicked the mask out of his hand, which Milo caught. Diaz had parts in the movies "There's Something About Mary", "My Sister's Keeper" and "My Best Friend's Wedding".

Answer: Peter Green

Greene, born in 1965 in Montclair, New Jersey, landed the part of Dorian Tyrell. Dorian was part of a criminal organization headed by Niko but Niko found him a disappointment so he kicked him out. In one scene, Dorian blasted Tina for kissing The Mask while performing one night at the Coco Bongo but Tina said she did not have much of a choice.

When Dorian took Tina to a fundraiser at the Coco Bongo, he and his men opened up fire on Niko and his men. Dorian begged Niko to shoot him, which Niko did, but the bullets had no effect on him since he wore the mask at the time. Dorian killed Niko and then set a bomb which would explode in 10 minutes. Stanley then used his powers to create a flush button, which he used to "flush" Dorian when Dorian stepped into a fountain at the club. Greene guest starred on the TV series "Hardball", "Law and Order" and "Life on Mars".

One night, she took Stanley to a warehouse with a printing press in it and that was where he confessed that he was The Mask. Shortly after this, Dorian and his henchmen arrived and Peggy asked them to show her the money. Dorian gave her a suitcase with $50,000 and she handed him the mask.
