Video Description

Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis joins Prof. Brown to discuss his body of work in theater and film. (3/22/2005 , 6/16/2005) Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis is an English actor.[2] He excelled on stage at the National Youth Theatre, before being accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, which he attended for three years. Despite his traditional actor training at the Bristol Old Vic, he is considered to be method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles.[3][4] He often remains completely in character for the duration of the shooting schedules of his films, even to the point of adversely affecting his health. He is one of the most selective actors in the film industry, having starred in only five films since 1998, with as many as five years between roles.[5] Day-Lewis is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation and has earned numerous awards, including three Academy Awards for Best Actor for his performances in My Left Foot (1989), There Will Be Blood (2007) and Lincoln (2012), making him the only male actor in history to have three wins in the lead actor category and one of only three male actors to win three Oscars.[6] He was also Oscar nominated in this category for In the Name of the Father (1993) and Gangs of New York (2002). He has also won four BAFTA Awards for Best Actor, three Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. In November 2012, Time named Day-Lewis the "World's Greatest Actor."[7] In June 2014, he received a knighthood at Buckingham Palace for services to drama.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Day-Lewis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000358/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 The New York University School of Professional Studies ( also known as SPS ) is one of the schools and colleges that comprise New York University.
