Jeff Daniels (born February 19, 1955) is an American actor.

Daniels was born in Athens, Georgia; he grew up in Michigan, where his father ran a local lumberyard.

Daniels is perhaps best known for his roles in Terms of Endearment, Gettysburg, Arachnophobia and Dumb & Dumber. Although primarily a dramatic actor, ironically some of Daniels' most memorable scenes are from the comedy Dumb & Dumber. They involve his character, Harry Dunne, getting his tongue frozen to an icy pole, and another scene where he suffers a painful bout of diarrhea and realizes only too late the toilet he has used does not flush.
