Daniel Day Lewis can do some compelling drama roles, but he’s one of those method actors who lives as the character until the film is complete. It can make for some powerful films, but sometimes it turns out like Jared Leto’s Joker. Or Christian Bale’s freakout on set, where he said he was deep in character and some set guy walked through and interrupted the scene.
For me, he’s probably #2 on the “can’t pull eyes away from screen” list after Daniel Day Lewis (which is basically cheating).

Oh, I’m sure he’d be miserable to live with and be around. Probably insufferably pretentious. But he’s so good tho.
