Jeff Daniels & Laura Linney | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

[@wiktoriakorszlak6275]

Laura Linney is so underrated it's crazy. That woman should have won an Oscar a long time ago!!!

[@danielstanwyck2812]

you said it! always fascinating and at the very least, always interesting. and he's no slouch either

[@nonid5627]

She’s not underrated

[@wiktoriakorszlak6275]

@@nonid5627Yes, she is.

[@janethope]

CORRECT ❤

[@eagf28]

I agree!

[@stevesheroan4131]

I don’t know if Laura Linney has stolen every scene she’s ever been in, but I’ve NEVER seen one stolen FROM her. She perfectly embodies every role she plays, and never seems out of her element. A true artist.

[@ExiledExia]

Jeff Daniels imo one of the best actors of our generation

[@55555gino]

Laura is Soooo Underrated ! She deserves much more recognition

[@Dan0__]

John Adams, the miniseries based on David McCullough's book, the casting was outstanding!!! Laura Linney was so perfect as Abigail Adams! I'll always remember her for that roll.

[@julierogers1155]

Two absolute GEMS.

[@bobsteinzig]

his newsroom speech to this day is the finest I have ever seen

[@karenhochberg1691]

Great conversation. Smart, talented hard hard-working people talking about their craft. Loved it.

[@JamieJobb]

Two of the world's finest actors. And I know from meeting Laura Linney in the lobby of Berkeley Rep that she's a fine audience member as well. She has an everyday presence which must be refreshing and productive when she's on stage or on a set. Daniels has proved more than once that he's "Something Wild".

[@markmowbray1769]

I work (unpaid) in theatre, I agree. You have to learn on your feet. It’s the only way, even if it’s terrible it’s a start. Great video. Brilliant actors.

[@flaccidusminimus2170]

I like how Daniels is transparent about not having seen a minute of Linney's show. "How's the writing?". The guy doesn't front.

[@janethope]

This is one the of best actors on actors - two insanely talented seasoned pros

[@junevaughn2516]

I keep seeing the word underrated for Laura but that’s what makes her so great.. she’s not about the accolades and fame but the craft and growth as an actor!!

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

Laura Linney is amazing! She’s had so many great roles, but Wendy Byrd she absolutely killed that role! So so so amazing! Roles like that and actresses like her are what keep me wanting to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

[@darrellgarrett72]

Laura was Amazing in Ozark! Jeff was Amazing in The Newsroom!!

[@michaelleary9233]

Best HBO series ever, especially with Sam Waterston as his boss.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Both Laura Linney as well as Jeff Daniels are underrated actors of all-time! Furthermore, Laura's Showtime television series entitled "The Big C" is a hidden gem!

[@Benjorunner]

Why saying that they are underrated when that's not the case? They are very much appreciated both by the business as by the audience......

[@trenchant63]

I won't subscribe to the idea that Linney and Daniels are "underrated." Furthermore, they are NOT underrated. Perhaps they could be considered unappreciated, but that's not the same thing. Two performers of this caliber do not carve out substantial, decades-long careers if they are "underrated."

[@MasterYodaJEDI4]

Of all the Actors on Actors I've seen, this one is one of the very best! Love Jeff, and Laura is great!

[@benrosn8154]

Phenomenal actors

[@karen4253]

This is the best conversation between two awesome ACTORS on "ACTING" I have seen to date! I loved listening to them discuss their decades of experience, successes & failures that helped pave the way to where they are today | Let's hope they both continue down this road for many years to come! 👍💯🎬🎥📺

[@Historian212]

My favorite episode of this series. These two are so smart, so experienced, so humble, such great actors. Great conversation.

[@jillfromatlanta427]

Have been a fan of Laura Linney since Primal Fear! Have loved Jeff Daniels in soo many things, especially Gettysburg, The Newsroom, The Looming Tower -this was a great conversation between two acting greats. Loved it

[@opus1632]

This is one of the better "episodes" of this series. Makes sense, considering the actors.

[@cidweinberg]

Exactly. This episode makes sense & clicks with theses two actors of experience & longevity. Not newbie’s that just starred in a super hero movie and think they are actors, now. That’s Variety’s grouping/casting issues to get clicks. I get it. Give me actors that have been in the game for 20 or more years.

[@nicholasbogosian5420]

Laura is my fave. Ever since You Can Count on Me.

[@blackspider1405]

Ah, the exquisite Laura Linney... I just adore her. I love Jeff Daniels too..

[@LindwayLand]

Two of my favorite performing artists. LL might be my favorite pure actress. Both are so versatile and committed.

[@markburnham7512]

So many great roles she has had. My favorite might be Mystic River. Very complex and ambivolent.

[@lisalivingston6473]

Laura sounds like a natural producer after hearing her approach to acting. Jeff has played a co-starring part or ensemble actor in some of my favorite films...Heartburn and Terms of Endearment are two great ones that come to mind instantly. It was interesting seeing two seriously talented actors have a conversation about their craft.

[@neilmcgarry3579]

I want to see the rest of this conversation! This feels like there's an hour and a half that's missing!

[@carl.nooner]

This is such a cool and honest conversation between two incredibly fine actors. An extended version of this interview would be fabulous!

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

Laura looks amazing.

[@lilbirdztube3698]

I watch Newsroom about once a year. JD was astonishing with Allison Pill onstage in "Blackbird". LL can do anything.

[@dpt3232]

LAURA LINNEY IS INSANELY GOOD!!!!!

[@mirfir]

L❤ her in Tales of the City!

[@Truthshallsety0ufree]

this was a super good episode. Really informative.

[@file1271]

I could watch these two discuss their profession & experiences & opinions, or anything, for hours.

[@debdiggins4430]

Two smart actors - I am always glad to see them.

[@jeffreytaddeo6245]

These two are great together!

[@sergicardo5631]

Such a delight. Bravo

[@phelipperave5195]

Love Laura Linney ❤❤❤❤

[@jospenner9503]

Laura Linney has two honorary doctorates. One from Julliard. She's quite distinguished.

[@relaxingricky]

Squid and the whale is one of the greatest movies ever made and because of these two actors I thank you 🍷😉

[@ides1959]

This was excellent, to be a fly on this wall, with these two brilliant actors-one of the best, if not the best, of this series. Thank you.

[@dwaynecoy1871]

Linney -one of the great cast of actors on Ozark that all brought it every episode. Can't get better acting on TV.

[@davidhouston4810]

I can not believe I have only just found this series. So many great actors, giving their insight on their profession.

[@emersondemathias]

Both great actors! Getting even better along the years.

[@pitpride1220]

Never clicked so quickly! So interested in what makes them tick. I LOVE listening to pros talk about craft.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Really underrated actors imo and also why haven’t we seen them in a comedy yet?

[@HlifeRomania91]

Love them both❤❤

[@Thirteenthdi]

This, more than other videos in the series, reveals the actual craft of acting. I was shaking my head when Jeff Daniels talked about acting opposite Meryl Streep and the pressure to be good on one.

[@dougm5341]

Loved Jeff in Gettysburg. And loved Laura as Abigail Adams. These two are awesome at their craft!

[@Allen2saint]

LL, you had me at “hello.”

[@markcollins457]

What a great coupling of actors to spring board inside knowledge of how they form there craft.

[@agalIam]

love these two!! ....when she yanks the phone off the wall in ozark .omg!

[@jeehyeon]

Literally watched the squid and the whale last night! Loved this duo!

[@BobG-pi8bb]

It just occurred to me how well they match these actors up for these segments.

[@judydubiel]

Laura will always be Abigail Adams to me ❤️ Love Jeff, too

[@Rajalord27]

Personally I think you've made it when you have enough for you and the family and you've done at least one passion project and when you realize your always going to look for the next challenge. And helping people making a difference is one of my things. Also never sit back and think I've done enough there's always more and you should never stop going for more

[@Liz86000]

Jeff Daniels is amazing in any role he does, but he will always be Will from the Newsroom to me.

[@spoudaois]

Loved Squid and the Whale because I learned a new word : Philistine.

[@Smartbeautifulawesome]

I was so impressed her character in Ozark

[@JK-xl7un]

Great actors!

[@marylreddick]

Love them both

[@Benarnott-c2x]

Watch me through the years Jeff 😊

[@virtuoso8642]

I’m sorry, but I needed Laura Linney to win the Best Actress Emmy for Ozark. No shade to the other nominees. She ate Wendy Byrde up.

[@rickcimino5483]

Laura Linney....oh my gosh. I don't even have the words.

[@agalIam]

the best !!!

[@Historian212]

What is the recent vogue for calling very famous people and things “underrated”? Both of these actors are highly regarded, well-respected, often employed, and celebrated. The overuse of “underrated” is almost as bad as the tendency to call things “ahead of their time”-things that are very much *of* their time. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Benjorunner]

I totally agree with you and just made the same comment. These actors are the farthest from being underrated. These people really don't have a clue.....

[@davidfriscic3009]

Folks-- underrated simply means that a fan feels they could get much more appreciation from the mass public and critics. It is a major compliment that a fan feels they do not get as much press and attention as they deserve.

[@Benjorunner]

@@davidfriscic3009 but they do get enough press and attention....... so stop it already with the annoying "underrated". They simply are not....

[@santacruzman]

Underated, underated, underated. LL, more so than JD. No, they do not get enough press and attention, not when compared to their more decorated peers.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Laura & Jeff! 🎬 #Variety #ActorOnActors #JeffDaniels #LauraLinney

[@ccwoodlands1565]

Jeff is right: Making a living is making it.

[@artlesscalamity]

Kind of a weird combo but the differences make it interesting. Linney’s deep thoughtfulness versus Daniels DGAF energy.

[@Bfolks84]

Laura looks so beautiful!!!

[@moonshinefilms]

Yeah, making a consistent living and people returning your calls. That’s someone who made it.

[@davidstone9624]

damn.. .this one was great

[@steveoshow4832]

Laura L in Ozark & Jeff D in The Newsroom. Two exceptional actors of my generation. Incidentally if Columbo was ever resurrected Jeff D would be an ideal choice.

[@joshuaelliot1]

Love it however you need consistency in your titles. It will help with keyword searches (Long tail ect.)

[@jackchop1576]

Wendy Byrde ❤❤❤

[@paulomontero12]

Nothing more lower as human being then being an actor! Why do we need these type of people?

[@briansmith2163]

Hey, Jeff. Elderly has a rosewood Martin with a pearl inlay of the great lakes on the fretboard. I thought of you the minute I saw it.

[@damham5689]

So is Jeff Daniels is hosting State of the Union show on Euronews now ?

[@tj-kv6vr]

Jeff Daniels has come a Looooooong way from Dumb and Dumber

[@giuseppescudiero6648]

L attrice è quella del film mystic river e schegge di paura interpreta l interrogatorio di Edward norton nel film c è anche Richard gere interpreta l avvocato di norton

[@giuseppescudiero6648]

Daniels e Jim Carrey sono un bel duo insieme al film scemo più scemo

[@stevewise1656]

When did they film this? She's talking about Ozark in the present and Jeff is calling the show "Ozarks."

[@HimanshuSharma-nf1eg]

🔥❤

[@SSM654]

I wonder if he feels the same way about actors "quitting/giving up" today with how social media is so much bigger and expected from an actor now among other things. It feels like the stakes are against anyone who isn't all ready a nepo baby, super rich, famous, a brand, etc.

[@northpole8634]

Two great actors. Especially proud of fellow Michigander Jeff Daniels.

[@mirfir]

Honesty

[@rickECU]

Gosh am I wrong or did Jeff Daniels get the name of Laura Linney's show wrong? always thought it was Ozark not Ozarks

[@mikeydan]

Every time I see Laura... I see MaryAnn Singleton. I have been mad about this woman since Day One.

[@mirfir]

Absolutely!!! Trailblazer too ❤❤❤😊

[@TonyAielloRTW]

One word about Jeff. Gettysburg.

[@Lilhard5229]

Jeff daniels

[@Benarnott-c2x]

Bill you know there’s tshirts coming (prepare)

[@NicksHEAT1995]

Been a fan of Laura Linney since I saw Congo in the theater back in 95 when I was 13. Jeff Daniels is just a legend....still upset they killed him off in Speed.

[@robertmueller2023]

Did JA ever even watch "The Comey Rule"? No. Just put it in his archives.

[@tonelivschunnesson]

Why did he do that weird thing when she asked if he has had any hard moments in his career

[@BetteDavis19]

i hate how much he interrupts her. go laura linney

[@artlesscalamity]

I didn’t notice him interrupting her. Actually she seems to interrupt him a lot.

[@Benarnott-c2x]

Do you want to sit at a table with a man the tortures I’m done with this it’s time to think go to a restaurant

[@JimmieJoeMeeker]

Two actors who were/are serviceable. I don’t remember ever asking my wife let’s go see a Jeff Daniels or Laura Linney picture though. Just two folks who got lucky. No more, no less. That’s the hard truth!

[@tonelivschunnesson]

He’s not a very good conversationalist. Love Laura tho!

[@V_2009_tz]

Actors on actors by tom holland and zendaya pls

[@ADifferentVibe]

No. These seasoned actors like Laura and Jeff are more interesting
