Venice Playing Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon" was a chance for Jim Carrey to reflect on his own identity and the impact the late cult comedian had on him, the actor said on Tuesday.
Carrey was at the Venice Film Festival to present "Jim & Andy: the Great Beyond - the story of Jim Carrey & Andy Kaufman with a very special, contractually obligated mention of Tony Clifton", a documentary about the making of the 1999 biopic.
