Three-Time Best Actor Academy Award Winner DANIEL DAY LEWIS Quits Acting

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

DDL has been in more mediocre films than good, but he's arguably the greatest actor of all time if you ask me.

He's the Lebron James of acting

Like the earlier comment, I will say that Gangs of New York is not a great movie, but DDL is amazing in it. In the Name of the Father was really good. Guy is one of the better actors alive today that I know of.

No matter how long it takes, no matter how far....

Spoilers, dude!

Come on, that award goes to Steven Segal!

Notice I didn't say "he is the best actor going today." I've never once seen DDL break a guy's wrist and throw him through a window with as little effort as it would take a normal man to open a door.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

This is one of my favorite movie themes of all time.

If only "Assassin's Creed III" was as good as TLotM...

 

[SNIKT1950]

Too bad he didn't go out with a respectable, legendary bang.

That's to be determined given that Anderson's film isn't out yet.

 

[The Ween]

His recent collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson will be his last film.

Arguably the greatest actor of the last thirty years. Its a shame to see him go but its not surprising at all with today's PC/Corporate-driven Hollywood.

Awesome actor, but not the first time he's "retired".

He'll be back.

Who's Daniel Day Lewis?

He wasn't in anything that I like, never heard of him.

 

[SNIKT1950]

Who's DDL?

One of a handful of actors who would never do an MCU movie.

 

[Lejuan]

Good on him.

I don't understand the adulation though... I've missed a couple, but I haven't enjoyed a single movie he's been in.

 

[Solidus]

Gang's of New York was okay. Also, I still haven't seen "There Will Be Blood", I only know about the milkshake scene that was uploaded on YouTube .

One of the most stupid scenes in cinema

TWBB is a great supporting character made dull by a spotlight. It's the artsy fartsy equvalent of stretching an SNL skit into a movie.

Well.....bye....

Fantastic actor.
I've liked most of the movies I've seen with him starring. There Will Be Blood and Gangs of New York stand out for me though. Age of Innocence is also quite amazing.
If he's truly to stop acting, I'll miss the movies he's in.
