    Good actor. He and Jim were perfect for Dumb and Dumber.

    The way he keeps a straight dead-pan face during D&D makes the movie.

    I went to see dumb and dumber at the theater in Chicago when it 1st came out and there were people all over the theater kicking the chairs in front of them from laughing so hard no one expected it to be as funny as it was

    I love you Jeff Daniels! Dumb and Dumber has always been such an important part of my life; so to hear you say in multiple interviews - that it was your most highest profile role, really warms my heart. 🐶👱👨

    Arachnaphobia was the first thing I saw him in. He's a good actor.

    Will always like a actor who chooses to remain down to earth over being a hollywood bigshot.

    He is very memorable in Fly Away Home: i love Daniels. He’s a humble actor.

      One of his best roles.... Lawrence Chamberlain with the 20th Maine. One of the greatest movies made.

    Jeff Daniels proved he can do all kinds of rolls and do them just as good as any actor ever put on a screen.

  • @billlonee9470
    @billlonee9470 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've never heard anything but wonderful things about him. Weirdly, I knew a guy who absolutely hated him. Like to the point he wanted harm to befall him. His reason? He was terrible to Debra Winger in "Terms of Endearment."
    I'm like, "You know that's a move and he was playing a character, right?" He wouldn't budge.

    I love how he’s never been ashamed of Dumb and Dumber or complained about it.

  • @Heller103085

    Im sorry but the bathroom scene in dumb and dumber might be the funniest scene in comedy history to me…the way jeff committed to that was perfect

    Jeff portraited: George Washington crossing the Delaware, Gettysburg hero on Little Round Top. Jeff can do it all. Chelsea, MI is a great small town. I love the pick your own fruit and vegetable farms in the area.

    Daniels doesnt give himself enough credit then, D&D wasnt one of my favorite movies but Jeff is def one of my favorite actors. Newsroom and The Martian, Speed...great roles

  • @timo9007
    @timo9007 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    4:14 that is the actress playing Nina Howard in the Newsroom isn't it?

  • @jpalexander292
    @jpalexander292 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love him as an actor and his answer about Allen was as good as he could be expected to answer it. Sometimes you need to to say yes I would work with him because I don’t believe the allegations or no there is too much controversy surrounding the man

  • @kilroy987
    @kilroy987 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember him more from Speed.

  • @bcole1637
    @bcole1637 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    he dont sound confident in himself, i'll wait by the phone from my agent to tell me that its all over/i'll wait til my career is over..i dont know if hes serious or joking but either way i can related to self doubt

    • @switchbuckle5th
      @switchbuckle5th 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It's not a lack of confidence, it's just typical midwestern self-deprecation. We midwesterners are really bad at displaying confidence because we don't wanna come off as pompous or full of it.

    Jeff was funnier in dumb and dumber then Jim. I think he played the part better

    He's such a lefty though.
    I have no problem with lefties. I am one... but... when ALL OF YOUR WORK is promoting a leftist point of view, I don't want to watch it.
    I saw the scene that everyone loved from the first episode of the Newsroom... and then (because I loved that scene so much) I saw a few episodes and I realized... his character's arc all took place in that first scene. He got fed up... made a bold risky and most importantly AUTHENTIC move... and the risk paid off... and continued to pay off in the form of success and respect for the entirety of the show. Never again does he have any conflict with authenticity. Never again does he encounter inconvenient truths. Never again does he have his reputation called into question... he just... is... for the rest of the series... he is the voice of reason, and the voice of reason is and always has been a terrible character.

    Maybe listen to Jesse Ventura on 11 sep to hear the real truth
