Born in Athens, Ga., on February 19, 1955, and raised in Chelsea, Mich., Jeff Daniels has built a career as a low-key leading man, playing everything from villains to romantic heroes and lovable idiots.After finding some success in film and on stage, Daniels scored his breakout role as Debra Winger's philandering husband in Terms of Endearment (1983). He followed this success with a memorable role as a silver-screen hero who steps off the screen to romance Mia Farrow's lonely housewife in Woody Allen's Purple Rose of Cairo.

Daniels continues to act and direct in films and theater. Other notable movies include Arachnophobia, Gettysburg, Dumb & Dumber, Fly Away Home, Pleasantville and Blood Work.
