Cory Michael Smith on ‘Mountainhead,' Millennial Jeans, and Jim Carrey
Let me ask you about comedy. Were there any comic actors that you watched growing up in Ohio that you thought: God, I'd like to be able to do what they do? The actor I grew up imitating the most was Jim Carrey. Maybe the first movie of his I watched was Ace Ventura—the second one: When Nature Calls. And Liar Liar was a favorite of mine. I did a lot of imitations of that. But the movie I watched over and over and over again was What About Bob? I loved that movie so much, and I had one friend in high school who also loved it and we would quote it back and forth to each other all the time, and no one knew what we were talking about. There was something about Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss's performances that, you know, ride on the edge a little bit. And so, I guess I have some of that inside me because I imitated these guys for so long. There's a lot of theater experience on your CV. Did all that stage work teach you something that you carry with you now into film? I went to college to study drama and piano. And I started in the theater because it's all I had done—and, frankly, it was all I really had aspirations to do. I had my first starring role off-Broadway in a Mike Bartlett play called Cock that Ben Whishaw had done in London, and I was cast by the same director in New York, which to me was a crazy coup because I love Whishaw. He's an incredible, special talent. And having the director that hired him, hire me—it's like these little moments in a career where there's validation that you're on the right path. Then, I had my Broadway debut at 26 [in Breakfast at Tiffany's], which was not a great experience. I mean, it was not a great production and it didn't do well. And that was really hard. It was a moment when I decided to try going into screen work. There's a certain rigor to theater, a study of language and body—things you don't necessarily learn when working on camera. It's really helpful to understand how a full body is used to tell a dramatic story.

EXCLUSIVE Former MTV star and actress looks unrecognizable during a rare outing in LA... can YOU guess who it is?
A former MTV star and actress looked nearly unrecognizable while enjoying a rare solo outing in Los Angeles this week. For her Wednesday stroll, she kept it casual and donned a pair of light gray leggings as well as a black jacket that was zipped up at the front. The TV star additionally opted for a dark navy shirt underneath and slipped into a pair of comfy sneakers to complete the low-key ensemble. The Hollywood celebrity is known for her comedic chops and has worked alongside a number of A-listers over the years, such as Jim Carrey. She famously appeared in the 1988 cult classic Earth Girls Are Easy and has also been involved in Disney Channel projects including Camp Rock. Can you guess who she is? From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The star is none other than Julie Brown, 66. Julie was born in August 1958 and was raised in the city of Van Nuys, California. The star later attended Los Angeles Valley College before enrolling at the American Conservatory Theater located in San Francisco. She began her long-lasting career in the industry in the early 80s by making small appearances in shows such as Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley. In 1988, Brown starred in the cult classic Earth Girls Are Easy by taking on the role of Candy. Other celebrities that were cast in the movie included Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans. The premise is: 'A young Southern California woman, who has just caught her fiancé cheating on her, befriends three humanoid aliens after their spaceship lands in her swimming pool,' per an IMDB synopsis. The film was based on Brown's songs from her 1984 EP titled Goddess In Progress - but bombed at the box office upon its release. However, Earth Girls Are Easy was later adapted into stage performances - with one starring Kristen Chenoweth - but never became an official production. The star is none other than Julie Brown, 66 - who appeared in the 1988 cult classic Earth Girls Are Easy and has also been involved in Disney Channel projects including Camp Rock; seen in 1992 She kept it casual for the daytime stroll on Wednesday and donned a pair of light gray leggings as well as a black jacket that was zipped up at the front The star later attended Los Angeles Valley College before enrolling at the American Conservatory Theater located in San Francisco During a past interview with Socialite Life, the actress recalled pitching the project and had been told she could not play the lead role of Valerie due to not being a 'big enough star.' 'And, you know, it was kind of horrible. I mean, yeah, it was horrible,' she admitted to the publication, referencing to the film's flop at the box office. 'I loved seeing the movie become something. I did love that. I mean, that's probably my all-time favorite thing, to write something and have it get produced and manifested and be something, you know what I mean? That's the best.' From 1989 through 1992, Brown also starred on the MTV comedy/music video show Just Say Julie - which she created. In 1995, the actress also starred in Clueless alongside Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy and Stacey Dash. In the film, she portrayed the role of Ms. Stoeger - a gym teacher - and later played Coach Millie Deemer in the 90s series based on the movie. Other projects Brown has made appearances in include Murphy Brown, Family Affair, The Middle, Melissa & Joey, Paradise Falls and Six Feet Under. Julie has also been involved with the Disney channel and appeared in one episode of the hit series Wizards Of Waverly Place. She also notably co-wrote Camp Rock (2008) while also taking on the role of Dee La Duke in the TV movie. The film - which also starred The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato - was followed by a sequel in 2010. While talking to Smashing Interviews Magazine back in 2010, she reflected on the development of Camp Rock. 'My brother and I wrote the first four scripts. When we finished the first one (Camp Rock), they said, "Oh, the Jonas Brothers are going to be in it." I said, "Who?" But I did realize they were great.' She added, 'We actually had to change the name of the script when we were shooting in Canada because some girls up there were trying to find them. So shooting was insane. 'I played the camp counselor in the first one. Disney wanted to change the story for Camp Rock 2 and my character wasn't in it, but I still got credit for being the creator.' Julie's last credit on IMDB is the television movie titled Craft Me A Romance (2023). During her interview with Socialite Life, Brown stated that her biggest 'accomplishments' thus far was both her son and her career. 'And I think having a career that I kind of made up myself. That's the other thing I'm really happy about – because I didn't even really think about it that much until the last couple of years, and I realized I've been really lucky to get to do all these things. Julie added, 'I didn't think of it like that because I was just trying to do the next thing. But I think that's an accomplishment. 'I wanted to do these things and I got to make a lot of them happen,' she further expressed. The star is also active on social media and will occasionally upload selfies of herself onto her main Instagram page while also promoting shows to her followers.

Jim Carrey's 30-Year Home Has Been on the Market for Over 2 Years, and It Just Got Another Price Cut
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Jim Carrey, known for his many famous films including the recent "Sonic the Hedgehog" trilogy, is struggling to off-load his long-time Los Angeles home. To make it even more attractive, the price was cut by another $1 million. Built in 1951 and located in the affluent Brentwood neighborhood, Carrey purchased the property in 1994, the same year he starred in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber." After nearly 30 years, it was listed for sale for $28.9 million in February 2023. Don't Miss: Inspired by Uber and Airbnb – Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets – Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — At that time, Carrey spoke with The Wall Street Journal about selling his home, describing it as "a place of enchantment and inspiration" where he spent "30 very creative and prosperous years." The reason for putting it up for sale? "I want someone else to enjoy it like I have," Carrey says, noting that he no longer spends as much time there. The ranch-style home went through several price changes and relistings up until December, when it was pending sale for $19.75 million. The deal fell through, according to public records, and was relisted for the same price two months later. With no buyers, another price slash brought the listing down to $18.75 million as of May 2. Spanning just under 11,000 square feet, the contemporary home has five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It features six fireplaces, brick hallways, beamed ceilings and French doors that lead out to the patio. The exterior stuns with a waterfall pool and spa, an infrared sauna, a steam room, green gardens, a tennis court, a gazebo and a pool house with a wet bar. For those who want to take advantage of the indoor-outdoor living, there's a treetop yoga and meditation platform. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — "This tranquil oasis is unlike any other in Los Angeles and must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated," says the listing held by Graham J. Larson at Sotheby's International Realty. "Set behind more than 280′ of hedged frontage and situated on more than two serene acres, this one of kind property offers endless enjoyment for all ages." One of the most show-stopping parts of the house is the Art Deco-style home theater with a concessions room, which features costumes from Carrey's movies. In tall glass cases on the walls, you'd find his Riddler costume from "Batman Forever" and the Santa Claus costume from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." This is also where he keeps the many awards he's won over his impressive career. Sadly, these iconic pieces don't come with the sale of the house.
