The Truman Show is perhaps Jim Carrey's most underrated movie.

Released back in 1998, Carrey was at the height of his fame and was best known for his comedy roles in movies like The Mask, Dumb & Dumber, and Ace Ventura. However, The Truman Show allowed Carrey to display more of his dramatic side.

The movie follows Truman Burbank - a seemingly ordinary family man living an ordinary life. But unbeknown to him, Truman is actually the star of a live television show following his life, where everything around him is a set or a prop, and everyone in his life is an actor.

Check out the trailer for the incredible movie below:

Eventually, Truman catches on to the truth behind his existence and seeks a way to escape from his fictitious world.

It really is an incredible post-modern look at reality television that was far ahead of its time, and even earned Carrey a Golden Globe for Best Actor (Motion Picture Drama).

However, a look at the original script for the movie - shared by DailyScript - will reveal that the actors in Truman's life may have cared for him more than the finished movie wanted you to think.

Towards the end of the movie, Truman attempts to make his way to a boat in order to escape the movie set he has been living on. But while doing so, he narrowly avoids detection by a search party consisting of cast members.

Except one straggler does see through Truman's 'homeless man' disguise - his lifelong friend, Marlon (played by Noah Emmerich).

This is how the scene plays out:

"However, as he bypasses the entrance to a ticket box, he hasn't bargained on coming face to face with another straggler from the search.

"MARLON. Truman freezes in front of his childhood companion - Marlon instantly seeing through Truman's homeless disguise.

"Truman glances nervously in the direction of the searchers. Their backs to the two men, they are beginning their next sweep. One shout from Marlon will give Truman away - he is at Marlon's mercy.

"Without a word, Marlon walks past Truman and rejoins the search.

"Truman glances back to Marlon's retreating figure but Marlon never looks back."

After this scene was shared on a Reddit thread, people were quick to argue that it would have improved the movie, as it would have proven that Marlon genuinely cared about Truman as a friend, and their the love he had for him was real - not an act.

One Redditor responded, writing: "This would have been a great scene to keep in the movie to prove that Marlon really cared about his friend Truman."

But another argued: "I think it's interesting and all, but axing it kept Marlon true to his character and I think it could have cluttered things up had it been kept."

And a third added: "From other deleted scenes it says he was a child actor who was placed into the role without knowing entirely what it meant and in other scenes in the movie he seems conflicted about lying to Truman constantly."

So, what do you think of this deleted scene? Should it have been left in the movie?
