Transcript

He is famously selective about the roles he takes. Sometimes allowing years to elapse between movies. When he does undertake a project, he has been known to take his research to extraordinary lengths, from spending months in a wheelchair, to learning to speak Czech. Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis is eclectic, most gifted actors of his generation. He was born in London on April 27, 1957, the son of an actress and a famous poet. Having made his screen debut as a teen with a small role in 1971s "Sunday Bloody Sunday" he studied at the famous Bristol Old Vic Theater School. Stage and TV work followed, before a small role in 1982s "Gandhi" led to a larger role in 1984s "The Bounty." His career took off in 1985 with starring roles in "My Beautiful Laundrette" and "A Room With A View" He learned Czech for "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and for his Oscar-winning portrayal of a carebral palsy sufferer in 1989s "My Left Foot: The Christy Brown Story." He spent the entire shoot confined to a wheelchair. His subsequent work ranged from the action-packed "The Last of The Mohicans" to the romance of "The Age of Innocence" and the gritty drama of "In The Name of The Father" for which he received an Oscar Nomination. Following 1997s "The Boxer" Daniel moved to Italy and took a lengthy break, returning to a screen with a brilliant Oscar-nominated performance in 2002s "Gangs of New York" having made just one more movie in the interim, Daniel exploded onto the screen in late 2007, with "There Will Be Blood" earning his fourth Academy Award nomination in the process.
