Jeff Daniels si-a facut debutul in filmul artistic al lui Milos Forman, Vremuri de restriste/ Ragtime, dar rolul sotului Debrei Winger din Vorbe de alint/ Terms of Endearment i-a deschis calea spre glorie. Woody Allen a fost printre primii care au identificat talentul si disponibilitatea lui pentru comedie si l-a distribuit in rolul principal din Trandafirul rosu din Cairo/ The Purple Rose of Cairo. A mai avut roluri in Atractie salbatica/ Something Wild, Sotia macelarului/ The Butcher’s Wife, Checking Out, Zborul spre casa/ Fly Away Home, 101 Dalmatieni/ 101 Dalmatians, Speed – Cursa infernala/ Speed, Pleasantville, Arachnophobia, Gettysburg, Tantalaul si Gogomanul/ Dumb and Dumber, Legatura de sange/ Blood Work, Orele/ The Hours, Zei si Generali/ Gods and Generals, Eroi imaginari/ Imaginary Heroes si Because of Winn-Dixie si Excursie cu surprize/ RV.

Vor mai urma si alte filme in care joaca: The Lookout, cu Joseph Gordon Levitt si Mama’s Boy, cu Diane Keaton si Jon Heder.
Succesul lui Jeff Daniels nu se limiteaza doar la ecran: a avut aparitii pe Broadway in piesele lui Lanford Wilson "Redwood Curtain" si "Fifth of July", care i-a adus Premiul Drama Desk la categoria "Cel mai bun actor in rol secundar". Off Broadway, Daniels a avut nominalizare la premiul Drama Desk pentru rolul din Lemon Sky, precum si un premiu Obie pentru interpretarea din productia Circle Repertory Company Johnny Got His Gun.
