In the early 1970’s we lived in Chelsea Mich next door to the Daniels….his dad built our house. Very down to earth family. Thanks for being such great neighbors….I’m proud to have lived next door to you and happy for all your success!

Jeff Daniels has a range far above most actors. Very under rated even though he is famous. One actor I would like to meet if conditions were right.

Jeff Daniels is so great! The Meryl Streep story is proof that he's absolutely the real deal. As well as his remarkable career.

Everyone loves them some Jeff Daniels...Fellow Michigander (via California, via Peru, Via Hoosierlandia) now driving the potholes in Lansing

Jeff Daniels is a Michigan treasure. He loves his home state as much as I do.

My first time seeing Jeff was Terms of Endearment. He was a cad but terrific in that role.

[prowlermadmax]

I've watch some of Jeff's films, but I never took him seriously until he started trashing trump, that's when he earned my respect.

Jeff Daniel's a principled man, a gentlemen.

[shespeex]

My favorite performance of his was as Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Moves me to tears every time.

The Newsroom is one of my favourite shows of all time and Jeff Daniels was just amazing in it.

Jeff Daniels and Bill Murray are cut from the same mold. They are both "beloved" of their audiences. I adore them both. I just enjoy their work so much. It's like hearing two really great pickers trading licks. Just lovely.

If you ever want to Meet Jeff Daniels, you can see him in person in Michigan. He's very personable. He lives near Chelsea, Michigan, and still operates The Purple Rose Theater. Very nice guy. He likes his privacy, but that's overcome by his niceness.

He is an amazing actor and he was an eye candy when he was young!

[andyduck]

No mention of American Rust? Solid series! Season two is outstanding. Im in episode 3 of Godless. Another home run.

My dad once welded a gate for Jeff at his house in Michigan, he didn't get a chance to met him, but he did met his wife Kathleen and said she was incredibly nice.
