re: Name a better actor than Daniel Day Lewis

Yeah, Jimmy Stewart is GOAT. I'll assume he means current actors still in their prime. I'm not sure if there is any better but IMO, J. Phoenix should have won Best Actor in 2013 for his performance in The Mastor over Day Lewis for Lincoln. I think that performance (Phoenix's) is one of the best I have seen. Rivaling that of Day Lewis in TWBB (PTA really gets the best out of actors) Matthew McConaughey, Jake Gyllenhaal, Leo, are others that are building resumes worthy of being considered the best. Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon have been coming on strong the last couple of years too.
