They should go on tour with Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman!

Very good, serious piece of work starring Jeff Daniels

Very good, serious piece of work starring Jeff Daniels

It's easy to separate the two: Daniels is the Prick and Bridges is the Dude.

I have more trouble confusing Jeff Daniels and Fred Savage.

Dude and Dumber?

Dumb And Duder?

hasty ambush: Very good, serious piece of work starring Jeff Daniels

Too bad he wasted his talents in "Gods and Generals" a few years later.

Vertdang: They should go on tour with Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman!

Yeah, those are the two actors I get confused, not Bridges and Daniels.

The Crossing- Washington vs. Gates (new window)

Vertdang: They should go on tour with Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman!

Bill Pullman should go on tour with Scott Bakula.

Norm McDonald should go on tour with Dennis Miller.

I read that as "Jeff Bridges wants to go on tour with Jeff Bridges in the hopes that you'll stop confusing the two of them"


I was very confused.

One is an Academy Award winner. The other is doing silly assed commercials for Michigan's economic reawakeniing.

RIP, Jeff Daniels.

SnakeMan: Ponzholio: Doktor Merkwrdiglieben: I have more trouble confusing Jeff Daniels and Fred Savage.

Or Jeff Bridges and Todd Bridges...

Every time I try to recall Jeff's brother's name, my brain keeps coming back with, "Tod". And I keep telling it, "No! They're not related! It's another guy! Think!" Sometimes my brain comes back with, "Lloyd". "No, that's the father! Come on, I know this!"

Well, technically, Lloyd is Beau's real name.

Lionel Mandrake: Brown Sauce: Approve.

Prudhomme's the one not rotting marinating in a wooden box six feet underground.

/FTFY

Vertdang: They should go on tour with Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman!

Yes, I think it's Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman who are easily confused. Who the hell confuses Daniels with Jeff Bridges?

Who was in Speed?
-Jeff Bridges, I mean Jeff Daniels

/sums it up

dobedobeDUE: One is an Academy Award winner. The other is doing silly assed commercials for Michigan's economic reawakeniing.

But he is also doing good things for theater there as well: Link

He also did Purple Rose of Cairo and Gettysburg, which is good enough for me. Others were bonus. You should watch Super Sucker...great little dirty flick.

/yes I heart Jeff Daniels. And?

Agreed!! Can't believe I forgot that one.

Also: I used to think Jeff Daniels and Charles Rocket looked alike. Am I the only one?

Yeah, Jeff Daniels is no hack. Apart from the various truly good movies he's done, his performances are nothing to laugh at. Well, sometimes they are.

But look at his character in Dumb and Dumber and then his character in Speed, which came out within a year of each other. That man can act.

Daniels held his own with Clint when he played no one.

One is a great actor and one is a shiat actor. What's to confuse?

supraspinatus: One is a great actor and one is a shiat actor. What's to confuse?

Bah, I like 'em both.

/just saw The Men Who Stare at Goats the other night
//Great performances all around

I grew up on Bridges. I've never mistaken them. Daniels, get off my lawn.

He plays a mean fiddle, too!

Jeff is a funny name.

I saw Jeff perform live at a club in New York in January.

Daniels, that is. He is very funny, a great story teller and a good guitar player.

He even references Jeff Bridges in his act.

Actually, I always confuse Jeff Bridges and William Hurt.

Go figure.

So Jeff Daniels/ Jeff Bridges isn't Steven King /Richard Bachman thing?

Beau knows awkward dancing.

♫ Mock! ♫

VaportrailFilms: Actually, I always confuse Jeff Bridges and William Hurt.

It's William Hurt and Ed Harris for me.

dajoro: Vertdang: They should go on tour with Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman!

Yes, I think it's Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman who are easily confused. Who the hell confuses Daniels with Jeff Bridges?

I used to get Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman confused until I fell in love with While You Were Sleeping. Now I know the difference. Mmmmmm...Pullman.

I think the Bridges/Daniels thing is just because their names are Jeff and they have two-syllable last names. So when you're talking about the movie you watched with Jeff...it's easy to accidentally say the wrong name until you think about it for a second.


BalugaJoe:
Bill Pullman should go on tour with Scott Bakula.

I have no idea what your reasoning is for this, since they're really not very similar, but I just wanted to say that I'm on board with it. Completely. I will be there, in the front row, screaming. I loves me some charming nice guys.

He also has made it a point to raise his family away from the nonsense that is Hollywood.

What about Jeff Daniels and Dave Coulier? I always got them mixed up...

I constantly mix up Rachel Weis and Kate Winslet.
