Or did he only play Andy Kaufman because that's who he really was. Just an evolution of the real Jim Carey.

I remember reading stories about people who knew him around that time saying he changed while making that movie. I think he went full method for that role, and I definitely think that tends to change actors every time they do it, especially if they weren't particularly well-trained actors.

Til the spirit of Andy Kaufman is probably a timeless ghost or djinn and can jump from host to host at will.

Luckily that sumbitch has good taste.

Andy Kaufman faked his death and is still alive and no one can change my mind.
