My Daughter, Grandson and I were in the audience of TKAM back in Aug. 2019. One of the best nights of my life. Everyone in it was Great ! I also got to see Jeff many years ago with my late husband at our local theater. We loved his singing and humor. I have an autographed CD. LOVE---Blue Valiant !! We live about 1/2 hr from Jeff, so we have always been very interested in him. Such a talented man...... We also got to see a Stephen Colbert taping !!! What great memories !!!

I never really paid attention to Jeff Daniels until I saw that newsroom speech. Then I went back and watched a movie I never watched before dumb and dumber and started paying attention to Jeff. Now I can’t get enough of listening to how smart and what a good guy he is. When I first heard he was opening to kill a mockingbird again I didn’t know why, now I do, trying to help all those workers who are out of work because of that pandemic. We need more people like him for sure.

It's actually really interesting (to me at least), Sorkin, the writer of the show, hated how that scene was received. He didn't mean it as a "wake up America, and look how bad it is" he was writing from the position of a guy having a breakdown (Daniel's character). I'm glad it worked as both, but its interesting to me how Sorkin eventually did not like the scene. I know it's what sold me on the show.

Better in what way? I think personally this is the beginning of the end. You can go on about social victories, eliminating racism, propping up the poor into a better quality of life etc., but there's a storm coming that ain't looking good for humanity as a whole. We are on the verge of a complete breakdown in climate, we are beginning to separate from global political unions while places like Russia and China plant seeds of doubt and influence the morons of our cultures to sabotage us from the inside out. Every voice is countered with a louder more idiotic one with no rational thought, our kids can't read an analog clock or do anything without asking google ahead of time, our food security is crumbing under the weight of a population explosion that started 70 years ago along with weather that destroys entire crops. Commercial fishing is less than 2 decades from a complete collapse because there's no biomass left from decades of exploitation. We're about to fight wars over water and food, it's no longer fuel that's the issue. We rely on billionaires that have exploited millions of people, the environment and our way of thinking to be our social crusaders and vessels of change. Do you really think it's a good idea to let rich people lead our communities and countries the way they see fit? Why wouldn't our governments be doing this for the people by the people? I personally think it's too much power to let Gates or Musk and the likes to be making these decisions for us. We are in a mess and winning racism debates and feeding the poor soup is not the real issue here, so I think it's going to keep getting worse exponentially from my point of view.

besides dumb and dumber what has he been amazing in? dumb and dumber he was playing a more messy version of himself. hes way dumber in real life. thease two race baiting eliteists are wastes of carbon.

[@cleverusername9369]

I can't see Jeff Daniels without hearing him scream "Bayonets!!" as his character Lawrence Chamberlain in "Gettysburg", a role for which he desperately deserved an award.

[@nosleeveproductions]

Couldn't agree with Jeff more, Europa the last battle on bitchute really opened my eyes

[@universome511]

Sounds like a great film. I'll check it out.

[@mr.mrs.d.7015]

Thank you Jeff

The Looming Towers is the best drama on what happened with the intelligence agencies leading up to 9/11

[@darkfact3137]

Such a nice guy

[@fendr1962]

Thank you Mr Jeff Daniels. I think that there are so many of us Americans that need to hear your positive words about a very positive change that is coming to American. My heart yearns for an all inclusive American. We all need to keep steady and keep hope for our Democracy. These are dark times but there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Thank you for your positive uplifting words. I think your a very good actor but a great American human being.

You guys are beautiful! Love and light 🐝

[@clamourincessant6974]

I agree with everything the passionate and eloquent Mr. Daniels is saying. I wish there had been more talk of the novel, which is about two 20 year old best friends from a dying Penn former steel mill town and how they get into big trouble. I've heard comparisons to Steinbeck. Reading the novel now and its terrific.

How is "racism" measured? I need to know as a "white American" so I can track it. Surveys? Brain scans?

"Get educated." Boom, those two words. This exactly. If we could stand to listen and learn, that's when we can truly call ourselves a great nation.

Not sure why but him starring in d&d led me to believe he wasn’t that bright but I’ve never had more respect for an actor. Well done

Jeff, read Chris Hedges - "America: The Farewell Tour." It addresses all of this and how our politicians fail us

[@peachesandpoets]

Also "war is a force that gives us meaning" by hedges. I read it long ago and thought of it recently when I saw Americans being super fucking clueless about what the end of war looks like. People thought they were being sjws when really they just have no clue because of our bigoted war culture

Jeff Daniels: The only "celebrity" I care to see. There is more to him than his next book or his next movie. But his next book or his next movie is about his values, his life, his own country.

Jeff, why didn’t you lead by example. Why did you decide to move to town with: 96.1% white and 0.4% african-Americans

@@thomastreece6773 So not only does he not know what he's talking about now but he never did.

[@Christian.9198]

@@thomastreece6773 So he grew up privileged and his father did nothing to diversify or include minorities during his tenure as mayor?

[@thomastreece6773]

I suppose both Scott and Christian embrace diversity and make sure they bring more minorities into their neighborhoods. Always easier to be a hater. I believe Jeff Daniels is a good guy. All of your issues won't change my mind. That's all I have to say. Now you two can flap your wings in the wind.
