Yes Man (2008)
Carrey plays Carl Allen, a Bank of America loan officer in Los Angeles whose life has shrunk into avoidance after his divorce. The premise is the structure.
Terence Stamp was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his first film, Billy Budd, and became emblematic of 1960s London alongside Michael Caine, with whom he shared a flat.
He then largely left acting for most of the 1970s, spending time in India studying at an ashram, and returned as General Zod in Superman II, which is the performance most people know.
The Limey, for Steven Soderbergh, is the late achievement and the best thing he has done, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert gave him a role of considerable warmth.
