Jeff Daniels seems to have done it all over his lengthy career, from blockbuster action ("Speed") to slapstick comedy ("Dumb and Dumber") to war epics ("Gettysburg") and indie dramas ("The Squid and the Whale").

“I’m doing this movie about this Russian actress named Zoya Fyodorova,” the “Hangover” star revealed. “It’s a true story; she lived during World War II, she fell in love with this American officer. It was the time of Stalin, and if they thought you were talking to someone that wasn’t Russian, they could throw you into jail for twenty years. She was in jail for eight years.”
