| | James A. Swan's Articles - Interview With Jeff Daniels |
 | | Actor Jeff Daniels has appeared in 30 feature films including "Dumb and Dumber," "The Purple Rose of Cairo," "Speed," "101 Dalmatians," "Pleasantville," "Arachnaphobia," and the recent television mini-series, "The Crossing," where he played George Washington leading his men across the Delaware. |
 | | Jeff, however, assures me that ultimately, this is a "heart" picture, that seeks to present a little-seen facet of modern American life. |
 | | Jeff says there have been two primary sources of his motivations to write the play: his wife's family, who are ardent hunters and introduced him to their world, and the short stories of John Volker, which appear in his classic collection of Upper Peninsula tales, Johnny and The Boys. |
