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, 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)

All Good and over to you

Someone knows but another clue to help, in case they would like to answer, and to keep things moving.
His first name might make you think that people walk all over him, but in reality they dont. His first name is pretty common.
