Chelsea: Jeff Daniels

The Chicago Tribune has a Q&A with actor Jeff Daniels, who’s starring in a play in that city called “Turn of the Century.” In response to a question about how he got started in acting, Daniels says, “In Chelsea, I was a sophomore in high school, the choir director was putting on ‘South Pacific’ and she needed guys. I was on the basketball team, walking past the auditorium after a three-hour practice, and she called me in. ‘Damn,’ I thought. She had me read some part and do a little dance, and she cracked up. Do it again, she said. And I got cast.” [Source]
