Jeff Daniels on 30th Anniversary of 'Dumb and Dumber' and Where Harry Would Be Now (Exclusive)


The actor spoke with ET at the premiere of his new limited series, 'A Man in Full.'

Talking with ET's Cassie DiLaura from the premiere of his new Netflix show, A Man in Full, on Wednesday, the 69-year-old actor joked about his role as Harry in the iconic 1994 comedy and what it means to have the film -- which was written by the Farrelly brothers and also starred Jim Carrey-- celebrate such a major anniversary. As for where his character would be today -- 10 years after the sequel, Dumb and Dumber To, hit theaters-- the two-time Emmy Award-winning actor said he fears what kind of position Harry would be in if the audience caught up with him. He told ET that it was the writing of The Practice creator David E. Kelley and the promise of Regina King as a director that initially caught his eye, but the script sold him on it ultimately.
