Grinch in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Jim Carrey plays the title role in this Ron Howard adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic 1957 story of the same name, where a green, nasty creature spends most of his time hating Christmas and plotting to steal it away from the inhabitants of the magical land of Whoville. It's a role that required incredible patience for Carrey, who sometimes had to spend 8 hours for his prosthetic makeup to be applied. The Grinch costume included yellow contact lenses and a dyed green spandex suit covered in yak hairs. The effort was worth it: The movie is the highest-grossing holiday-themed movie of all time.
