Newsroom - Jeff Daniels on Character and Journalism.m4v

I believe this is the best tv show produced in this country in a generation. More important than the West Wing. It will be buried in Emmys. Aaron Sorkin is a civic and literary genius and it must be almost an Olympic sport for actors to master those dense amazing script. And what a cast - Sam Waterston has never been better. Jane Fonda is an icon always. And Jeff Daniels - a long beloved figure but at a time when most of the male stars of his generation have issues or are compromised - his stock explodes with this. A guy who married his high school sweetheart in 1979 and still lives in the town they grew up in in Michigan, who you never hear about in the tabloids because he is mainly an extraordinary craftsman and not a character with baggage. Thank you Jeff for being what I presume is you and inspiring me to try to do better than I expect I can. For more join "Our History Matters" a Facebook community
