    Respect to him for how he approached the situation with Anna Paquin on The Squid and the Whale. At least he made it known that it made him uncomfortable and it was purely for the sake of acting and performance and nothing else. I'm sure Paquin thought the same and they were both mature about it. Great movie too.

    Jeff Daniels' talent has always been underappreciated. The guy has been able to pull off comedy, satire, action, drama, and several other roles and no one really appreciates him enough to give him the awards he deserves. Maybe they should replace Woody Harrelson's roles with Jeff Daniels and give Woody the break he needs, heheh.

    Wow. That's a real cinematic nugget JD just dropped. He was still "auditioning" although they were filming like it was normal. NO ONE could have played "Harry Dunn" better than Jeff Daniels. I also really liked him as "Flap" in "Terms of Endearment". A great, and very underrated, actor.

    Terrific, thoughtful and insightful retrospective by Daniels, who is such an underrated actor. I wish he'd been able to talk about "Godless" or "The Looming Tower." My favorite thing about him is that he's such a good, technical actor that he seems able to switch his charisma on or off as needed, and it's kind of amazing. He's so good in so many films (I don't think he's ever given a bad performance), but oh man, when he's good, there's nobody better. Just a riveting, superb actor. (I wish he'd talked about "Speed" a little more -- and as more than just a "job." He's so good in it, and has moments in it that are so understated, powerful, and moving.)
