Daniel Day Lewis, is to my mind, the one of only a handful of actors I will watch anytime in anything. I bet some of you didn't even recognize him as Winona Rider's fiancee in "A Room with a View".
And I would have paid much much money to have seen his onstage "Hamlet" (unfortunately, he also lost his marbles during the production, claiming to have seen his own dead father as the ghost, poor baby.)
AND he had the good sense to marry into one of the premier theatre families in America!
(Sorry for gushing...time to rent "My Beautiful Laundrette" again.)
