Daniel Day Lewis... Atleast I assume so, based on the fact he keeps playing the same character

what?


Dudes just a hater. He bashes him everytime his name gets brought up.
He thinks Bill the Butchers character and Daniel Plainview are the same.
Big whoop, you think two of his characters are similiar. As opposed to a guy like Tom
Cruise where all his roles are the same except one or two. The fact that people went nuts and thought he was so good when Cruise did a cameo in Tropic Thunder is rediculous. They loaded him down with makeup and made him dance and cuss alot. Wow. Not that impressive.
I'd rather my actor actually have to take time to prepare for a role.

I dont understand the argument. Is an actor who plays his core-self in all parts a bad thing? I mean, do you really think if Denzel or Cruise dresses up like a zombie that makes them a great actor?

Personally I like most movies by Cruise, Lewis, Hanks, Stallone, etc.

The greatist character actor out there is Meryl Streep and to me its not close.
