Jim Varney was very into performing and doing characters and voices from an early age. He got his start as Ernest and continued to portray him well after it was financially required of him to do so. That's the facts, makes it seem like he was probably pretty comfortable in the character.

My opinion is that I think he was probably pretty pleased that it got him where he was because Ernest, like Jim, was a blue collar hick, and made him the star he became. Anecdotally, he apparently found a renewed strength in his religion, and was reportedly as content and happy as he had ever been, around the time he filmed his final Ernest movie in 1998. If he had a spiritual epiphany and found peace in his life and still wanted to play Ernest, it seems a strong argument that he, at the very least, came to accept the role as part of his life.

What country did the last name Varney come from?

France. The name is locational in origin, referring to either Saint Paul-du-Vernai in Calvados or the Vernai parish in Arrondissenient of Bayeaux. The spelling was probably adopted in England, the earliest use of the name being of one Robert de Vernai in 1212 but the spelling had become Varney by the time Sir Ralph Varney became an adviser to Queen Elizabeth I in the late Sixteenth Century.
