Jeff Daniels delivers roles that feel grounded and deeply real, but he has never been nominated for an Oscar. In The Squid and the Whale, he played Bernard Berkman, a self-centered writer whose arrogance tears his family apart. His performance captured the raw flaws of the character in a way that felt honest and relatable. In The Newsroom, he portrayed Will McAvoy, a journalist struggling with personal and professional challenges while pursuing the truth.
