  • In the new series "American Rust," Jeff Daniels plays the police chief of a Pennsylvania Rust Belt town trying to uncoil a murder mystery. It's a character he's played frequently: the guy with the guts to say what no one else will. Daniels talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about his latest role and direction in his career; his father's inspiration for his portrayal of Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird"; and the joy of being a grandfather.

    He's so damn good. Just gets better and better with age. Loved him so much in Newsroom. But I have personal vivid memories of him in NY in those 10 yrs. he talks about. I worked at Circle Rep in Sheridan Sq. in the 70s when he was there doing "Fifth of July" with Bill Hurt and Swoosie Kurtz, loved that co. and playwright Lanford Wilson's work so much I wanted to work there; and then I did work there in the administrative offices. He was a quiet, hard working, observant, down to earth guy then and he's never changed. I have a particularly vivid mental image of him standing on the subway exit island in the middle of Sheridan Sq., arms crossed, tee-shirted, buff biceps, totally calm in the middle of the hustle-bustle, just people watching (character study?) One of my favorite actors working today.

      You'd be surprised how down-to-earth most celebrities are. Sure, it's easy to write off the whole lot as narcissistic cream puffs. Yet reading your personal account of Mr. Daniels reaffirms my faith in humanity. Just good hearted folks getting by in life with their God given talents. Let the money and recognition come afterwards. If you can move one person a day, that's fulfillment!

    Famous Hollywood types and musicians that don't stray from their roots and even move back to their hometowns (Jeff Daniels, John Mellencamp for example) are usually that way because they are mentally grounded and secure in themselves, and have a love of home, friends and family. Daniels and Mellencamp have always spoken well of the Midwest and not made fun of us in "Flyover" country. For that I thank them.

A song that pops up in your head, something you see that you know he liked, a thought you have that reminds you of him, or a smell. The smell of freshly mowed grass is just one way I know my Dad is near me. Of course we don't have freshly mowed grass year round here in Michigan as you know, but it's a million other little things. My Dad has been gone 27 years, and my Mom 26 years ago. They don't really die Jeff, none of us do... we just change form. Pay attention. 💞
