Jeff Daniels thought the toilet scene in “Dumb and Dumber” would end his career. Daniels starred in the 1994 movie opposite Jim Carrey. In the movie, the two friends go on a road trip to Aspen to return a briefcase to a woman. Harry has digestive problems in one scene and ends up in a toilet that doesn’t flush. Daniels thought filming this scene would be a bad move for his career. He told USA Today: “It’s one thing to read the toilet scene, but then the day comes and we’re actually going to do the toilet scene. I told Jim, ‘This is either the beginning of my career or the end of it.'” Clint Eastwood noticed his work in the comedy and met him at a golf tournament. “Clint says to me, ‘I just saw Dumb and Dumber and you know, the toilet scene? That happened to me,'” Daniels said. “And then he tells a story about dating this woman that he really wanted to impress, but the shellfish hit him the wrong way from lunch.” Daniels said the toilet scene “will probably outlive us. It will be funny 40 years from now.”
