Jeff Daniels, Actor & Musician
Season 6 Episode 21 | 26m 46s
Evan talks actor and musician Jeff Daniels.
It takes an unusual actor to inhabit memorable roles in both Woody Allen's Purple Rose of Cairo and the Jim Carrey vehicle Dumb & Dumber. And Jeff Daniels is an unusual actor, to be sure. For decades, he's lived away from Hollywood, focusing as much energy on his songwriting and on a regional theater company that he founded as he has on mainstream films.
