Chelsea: Jeff Daniels

In the New York Times, actor Jeff Daniels responds to emailed questions from readers. Asked if being nominated for the Tony will influence him to do more on Broadway or elsewhere on the stage, Daniels responds: “Nomination or not, more theater was on my To-Do List. Kathleen and I left New York and moved back home to Michigan in 1986 to raise our family in a place we understood. While there, however, I missed the theater life, so I created the Purple Rose Theater Company. With my kids now in college and beyond, I can see doing more stage acting. Broadway. The Purple Rose. Frankly, I like being known as an actor who can do both film and stage. New York’s full of them.” [Source]
