Going by the buck teeth he probably has the same initials as a guy 2024 years ago.
A clue would be helpful.
Who, bugs bunny,
He has had a go at playing a superior being along with an actor I mentioned a while back.
No, not Mark Dick0.
He's portrayed some interesting caricatures, including parallel world's
No, initials JC.
Jim Carey the actor.
Yes Dick0 it is James Eugene Carrey
born January 17, 1962
He is a Canadian and American actor and comedian known for his energetic slapstick performances.
I figured you may have cracked it with the initials but the 2024, I thought you meant this year, but then 2024 years ago ( as an after thought)

Who is this? He has grown now and regularly seen across Australia now.
Vet Chris Brown,
Wild guess...
When that young bloke was a bit older, I think a rabbit would not been able to catch him.
Hmm... so he must be a track athlete and probably gets up at the crack of dawn.
You are on the right track.
His first name might make you think that people walk all over him, but in reality they dont. His first name is pretty common.
Perhaps it is Matt Shirvington.
