Jeff Daniels Breaks Down His Career, from 'Dumb & Dumber' to 'The Newsroom' | Vanity Fair

How dare you profile Jeff Daniels and not show the clip when he orders “BAYONEEEEETTTTSSSSS!!!” In gettysburg. This is a crime. Jeff is a magnificent actor in everything. Love him

This is how you define "underrated".

Really liked him in the Martian. Understated performance.

Arachnophobia, ironically, helped me get over my fear of spiders.

The only movie they missed is 101 Dalmatians

I still can’t get over the fact they never got on that bus at the end of dumb and dumber…..

"Dont worry, if he bites you, you'll simply be nausious". HAHAHHAHAHAHAH

What about escanaba in the moonlight. What a classic

He was a mazing in "The Purple Rose of Cairo! Love that woody movie still

Amazing that I love him in Dumb and Dumber and Newsroom. Just amazing actor

HAHAHA thats what i told everyone with my pet spider...itll be like u on rollercoaster to long for a bit.... LOL no validity in it but it mad people be like oh its not so bad!

No "Something Wild"-one of his best.

Looper?

Bravo Mr. Daniels!

He was in a pile of movies were he may not have been lead but was amazing. Martian, Looper and so many more

When did he dump Alanis Morasette?

He was awesome in Gettysburg

Jim Carrey really helped Jeff Daniels with his comedy

That Chamberlain stash was next level.

I rate him up there

Bailed on this once I realized they skipped Escanaba.
No thanks

His character, Louis Waters, in the The Hours was fantastic.

I absolutely adore this person. Not only he's a great actor, but he's so expressive and smart and down-to-earth. I'd love to share a beer with this guy.

Who doesn't love Jeff Daniels.

Great actor. Surprisingly...he's a real jerk to his fans when you meet him in real life
😒

I think what I love most is that he keeps it real. LIke, we all struggle. I appreciate the insight and what it takes to get a step ahead.

I just love the guy, great actor but humble.

That’s Colonel Chamberlain to you.

Call me crazy but I feel like Jeff carries the movie in Dumb and Dumber. He made it more believable and his ability to be the level headed of the two really sold it for me

I absolutely hate that he's aging

A shame they skipped Bloodwork. Love that movie.

Looper

🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️

The interesting thing about Dumb and Dumber is that you have to be an incredibly gifted actor to play an unintelligent character. Playing a smart character is easy, but playing an idiot convincingly is arduous.

this is a guy we need in high office.

Ragtime is fokin ahead of its time

that toilet scene was oscar worthy

I can't believe I haven't seen some of these movies. Definitely have to fix that

Going through the comments and reading how many have seen Arachnophobia fills my heart with a warm feeling. I thought I'm one of the very few people who saw and LOVED it.

That Newsroom scene is phenomenal. I love Jeff Daniel’s. A superb actor. ❤

Can't believe they didn't highlight GODLESS - he is amazing in that as the villain!

LOVED him in "Something Wild" with Melanie Griffith.

He was brilliant in "Godless".

Every one compets in his or her own team. Theres a few human kind that can compere with siberian tiger,

Play in your own class. With those who have the same possibiliy to win.

Take care of your hair . . .

Proceeds to have awful haircut in movie he is famous for 😆
