Ben, Lucas, & Nellie | Jeff Daniels’ Kids

While Jeff Daniels is often known for his comedic performance alongside Jim Carrey in 1994’s Dumb and Dumber, the actor also has other skills besides making people laugh. A musician, playwright, and actor, Daniels has had the chance to showcase his impressive range through the years, starring in the 1993 war epic Gettysburg, 2002’s psychological drama The Hours, and the 2006 film Capote. He has also done some stage work, with one of his stints being as the lawyer Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Suffice to say, the Dumb and Dumber star is undoubtedly a talented actor. A great achievement, for sure, but not for Daniels. For him, that title goes to his family. He married Kathleen Rosemary Treado in 1979, and since then, the happy couple has become parents of three kids: Ben, Lucas, and Nellie. Today, along with papa Daniels’ support, the trio has become quite successful in their own chosen lines of work.
