BY far the best masterclass on the discipline of the craft of acting, a required viewing to every student actor and actor. Jeff should be a teacher, so awesome. In London we need Jeff.

Out the gate he came dropping knowledge unapologetically! Usually the actor just elaborately answer questions. Jeff actually teaches the audience with ever response. A true master at his craft.

Jeff Daniels need a Masterclass of acting, because he is very articulate, and has great direction. Definitely would make an excellent director and playwright.

I saw the play twice and was amazed at the power and strength it took by both Daniels and Williams to carry it out. Hearing his talk here convinced me what makes a professional be a professional.

Insightful interview. "18, blonde and not a clue what Jewish was." Love his honesty and sense of humor. And that he gives props to his co-star, Michelle Williams.

1:07:20 I REALLY appreciate Jeff's honesty about the Emmy's from 2013. Bryan Cranston losing with "Say My Name" and Aaron Paul losing with "Buy Out" will never make sense to me, but I did actually get that Jeff and Bobby were so appreciative of the moment. Glad to hear it was all sincere. :)
