Stanley Ipkiss
The main role, you guessed it, went to Jimmu Kerry. At that time, the comedian was already very recognizable in the world, he starred in numerous films in the 80s. But "Mask" has become one of those films, thanks to which the fame of the actor has become even stronger. His hero is Stanley, painfully funny, a little awkward and very strange person who, however, is kind in heart and is always ready to help. And once he will meet his love, the path to which will be too thorny.
Tina Carlisle
But some actors in the film "Mask" (1994) gained wide popularity immediately after its filming and release on the screens. For example, the charming and charming Cameron Diaz, who played the main female role. Previously, she only worked part time in movies, appearing exclusively in episodes. From a young age, Cameron worked as a model, and only after the triumph of “Masks” she began to be recognized as an actress. In the film, she plays a beauty, a mafia girl and a singer in a nightclub. And also she is the very woman who won the heart of Stanley.
Dorian and Peggy
Well, now move on to the negative characters. Dorian Tyrell is the head of the mafia group that keeps the whole city at bay. They rob banks, racket, scare civilians. This role went to Peter Green not by chance, because none other than Quentin Tarantino's favorite would play a more masterly typical villain.
Peggy Brandt is a journalist who pretends to be in love with Stanley. In fact, she communicates with him only because she was recruited by mafiosi. They offered the girl a decent reward for the head of the protagonist who wears such a unique mask.
Doctor and police lieutenant
Well, now the neutral heroes of the film "Mask" (1994). The actors who played these roles are familiar to moviegoers from the distant 70s. In the image of a doctor of psychology and occultism, Ben Stein appears before us. Unfortunately, film works with his participation are known only to the American public, and they reached the eyes of the domestic audience only with the advent of the Internet. Well, Peter Riegert plays the Lieutenant of Calloway Police. Previously, he appeared in the films "Local Hero", "Menagerie" and others.
This warm and at the same time reckless comedy ends with the fact that Stanley manages to neutralize the mafia group, all the bandits go to jail. And finally, Tina's heart becomes open to him.
