20 Genius Actors Who Played Dumb Characters
7. Jeff Daniels
Jeff Daniels comes in at the end of the list. While he has portrayed one of the dumbest characters in history with unparalleled brilliance (Lloyd Christmas in the Dumb and Dumber movies), he’s also played some of the most intelligent. In 2014 he won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama series for playing Will McAvoy in The Newsroom. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in fine arts from the University of Michigan in 2009.

I honestly think you’re making this s*** up Jeff Daniels did not play Lloyd Christmas on Dumb and Dumber. Everyone knows that. Another list that I looked at on your website head lifted Vanessa Carlton as openly bisexual. Which is something she’s never said. Additionally the picture you supplied on that list wasn’t even a picture of Vanessa Carlton. I call b*******

Honorary degree? I don’t think so. Just put him in because of being a big Leftwinger maybe? Kind of like giving Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing
