    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. 🐶👱👨

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

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

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

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

    Wow how do you talk about Jeff Daniel's career and not mention his role in Gettysburg smh

    • @thomasloveless4800

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

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

    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 років тому +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.
