Jeff Daniels (actor)

Jeff Daniels (born February 19, 1955 in Athens, Georgia) is an American actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles in Arachnophobia and Dumb & Dumber. Although primarily a dramatic actor, ironically Daniels' most memorable scenes are from the comedy Dumb & Dumber and involve his character Harry Dunne getting his tongue frozen onto an icy pole, and another scene where he suffers a painful bout of diarrhea and realizing only too late that the toilet he has used does not flush.
