I first became familiar with Mr. Daniels in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT(1983).
He showed his comic chops in DUMB & DUMBER(1994). Haven't seen the sequel.
Saw him on Broadway in GOD OF CARNAGE with co-stars the late James Gandolfini, Hope Davis & Marcia Gay Harden. Great cast. All four were nominated for a Tony and Harden picked up a Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Play. As much as I loved Gandofini, Daniels was far superior in the play.
Jeff Daniels just wrapped up HBO's THE NEWSROOM. Wasn't really a fan of the show, although Daniels was superb in the lead role. It's interesting that both Hope Davis & Marcia Gay Harden were on the show. Davis in 5 episodes and Harden in 10.
In the series finale of THE NEWSROOM, Daniels even showed he's an adept musician.
