In an interview with IndieWire, Daniels explained that after the duo finished filming the 'Dumb and Dumber' sequel 'Dumb and Dumber To' in 2014, he had a moment when he told Carrey, 'I'm done.

thought the career would end,' he explained of making movies, 'especially 20 years ago. So I was ready to go out and play clubs, that was my backup plan. Fail as an actor, then fail as a singer/songwriter.' He occasionally performs at the Purple Rose Theatre Company, a theater he founded in 1991 in his hometown of Chelsea, Michigan.
