In a straight-to-YouTube video, Jim Carrey has created a public service announcement for the Human Rights Action Center and the US Campaign for Burma. Carrey called for the release of the Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, a man confined by the Burmese government, calling Aung San an “unsung hero.” Suu Kyi received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for his efforts in Burma, which opposed an oppressive governing regime. The video shows the serious, compassionate side of Carrey, one that rarely comes out in his frantic film roles.
