He even joked he totally fumbled the bag on that one Greer wasn't officially offered the part but after Seinfeld blew up he kicked himself hard wondering why he blew the audition so bad Greer also owned up to passing on Ace Ventura pet detective also bet a detective the script came his way alongside Rob Schneider But he called it trash and skipped it Jim Carrey grabbed it instead when full wild mode and turned it into a massive smash Word is a bunch of big names were in the mix for George too like Danny DeVito Chris Rock even Steve Bussemi
