    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

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

    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. 🐶👱👨

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

    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.

    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

    I can't believe they didn't mention "Something Wild"???? My God, Quentin Tarantino based Mia Wallace's hair on Melanie Griffith's character in that film. Not only was it a favorite of his, but also Paul Thomas Anderson (perhaps the biggest Jonathan Demme fan of all time lol) Not only that, but Martin Scorsesse saw Ray Liotta in Something Wild (he was the third lead) and his performance in that film impressed the director to cast him as Henry Hill in Goodfellas.
    But more importantly, Something Wild was one of Jeff's best performances.

    • @jacklemmon2402
      @jacklemmon2402 2 года назад

      Mia Wallace hair by that movie? Really? Tarantino said that?

  • @jpalexander292
    @jpalexander292 2 года назад

    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

    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 лет назад +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.

    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.
