Daniels thought filming this scene would be a bad move for his career.
I told Jim, This is either the beginning of my career or the end of it.'
Youve just got to go all the way with it.
That was a couple hours of porcelain gymnastics, he added.
And that close-up when they pop in tight on my red face.
I had been doing it so long, I had almost passed out.
Despite initial pushback from his agents, being part of the film paid off for Daniels.
Clint Eastwood noticed his work in the comedy and met him at a golf tournament.
Clint says to me, I just sawDumb and Dumberand you know, the toilet scene?
That happened to me,' Daniels said.
It will be funny 40 years from now.
