- In an episode of _"Boy Meets World" (1993)_ (qv), Daniels's character, George Feeny, is congratulating Cory on the quality of his film project. Cory then asks, "You think it's a great film?" George responds, "No, I think the Graduate is a great film," referencing his earlier role in _The Graduate (1967)_ (qv).
- Played George Feeny who was the principal and a teacher at John Adams High School on the TV show _"Boy Meets World" (1993)_ (qv). This is yet another John Adams connection for Daniels, who has portrayed him many times.
- (November 1999) Elected president of Screen Actors Guild upsetting incumbent 'Richard Masur' (qv), as well as candidate Angel Tompkins who conjoined her two names to call herself "Angeltompkins" so she could be listed first on the ballot(!) The SAG president serves a 2-year term.
- Worked conscientiously to lose the Brooklyn accent he grew up with, so that he could obtain a wider range of roles. His adopted accent is close to the Boston dialect he used as Dr. Mark Craig on _"St. Elsewhere" (1982)_ (qv).
- As a child, he was part of the Daniels Family song-and-dance troupe that traveled in and around the state of New York. His entire family appeared on one of the first experimental TV broadcasts in 1941.
