Jeffrey Warren "Jeff" Daniels (born February 19, 1955) is an American actor, musician and playwright.

For his film work, he has received three Golden Globe Award nominations, including as Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy/Musical for Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) (hence the name of his theatre company).
