"Universal Pictures' Bruce Almighty is a wild
new comedy about a man who goes looking
for God...and finds himself. The film reunites
two-time Golden Globe Award winner Jim
Carrey with director/producer Tom Shadyac,
the actor's collaborator on the megahits
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Liar, Liar.
Starring with Carrey are two-time Golden
Globe Award winner and Emmy winner
Jennifer Aniston and Golden Globe Award
winner and three-time Academy Award
nominee Morgan Freeman. The supporting
cast includes such fine talents as Lisa Ann
Walter (TV's Breaking News and Life's Work,
as well as Disney's The Parent Trap) as
Grace's salty sister Debbie; Philip Baker Hall
(The Sum Of All Fears, Rules Of Engagement,
Magnolia, The Insider) as Jack Keller, the
crusty station manager; Catherine Bell (Major
Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie on TV's JAG) as
sexy, seductive news anchor Susan Ortega;
Steve Carell (TV's The Daily Show and
Watching Ellie) as Bruce's network arch-rival
Evan Baxter; Nora Dunn (SNL, Sisters) as
Bruce's long-suffering segment producer, Ally
Loman; and Golden Globe Award winner
Sally Kirkland (Anna, Ed TV, JFK) as a love-
lorn waitress at a local Buffalo diner.
Nearly the entire production team of Bruce
Almighty have previously worked with
Shadyac including longtime Carry/Shadyac
collaborator Steve Oedekerk, a staff writer on
In Living Color who later wrote Ace Ventura:
When Nature Calls (which he also directed)
as well as Shadyac's hits The Nutty Professor
and Patch Adams."
