A very talented actor. hide show

Jeff Daniels is one of my favorite actors he’s, talented, funny, and full of energy. I haven't really seen a bad movie that he has been in that I don't like. Some of my favorite Jeff Daniels movies are:
Fly Away Home, 101 Dalmatians, Speed, Because of Winn-Dixie, and RV, he plays each character very well, and adds humor to the ones not meant to be funny.

Do you agree?
