Daniel Day-Lewis was born April 29, 1957, in London. His father, Cecil Day-Lewis, was the Poet Laureate of England. Daniel studied acting at the Bristol Old Vic, making his film debut as a teenager in Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971).A decade later, a small role in Gandhi led to highly visible work in The Bounty, My Beautiful Laundrette and A Room with a View, along with a successful starring debut in 1988's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Day-Lewis followed up with a stunning Oscar-winning performance in My Left Foot (1989), and in 1992 scored his first U.S. hit with The Last of the Mohicans.
His roles in In the Name of the Father and Gangs of New York garnered him two more Oscar nods, while his role as a greed-obsessed oil tycoon won him the statuette in 2007's There Will Be Blood.
