Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis (born 29 April 1957) is an English actor.〔("Daniel Day-Lewis Spoofs Clint Eastwood's Obama Chair Routine at Britannia Awards" ). Hollywood Reporter. Retrieved 19 April 2013. "I know as an Englishman it's absolutely none of my business."〕 He holds both British and Irish citizenship. Born and raised in London, 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 a method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles.〔〔Parker, Emily. ("Sojourner in Other Men's Souls" ). ''The Wall Street Journal''. 23 January 2008.〕 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.〔Herschberg, Lynn. ("The New Frontier's Man" ). ''The New York Times Magazine'', 11 November 2007〕 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.〔("Daniel Day-Lewis makes Oscar history with third award" )'. BBC News. Retrieved 13 March 2013〕 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." In June 2014, he received a knighthood at Buckingham Palace for services to drama. ==Early life== Day-Lewis was born in London, the son of poet Cecil Day-Lewis and English actress Jill Balcon. His father, who was born in Ballintubbert, County Laois, Ireland, was of Protestant Anglo-Irish and English background, lived in England from the age of two, and later became the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom.〔Peter Stanford (2007). ("C Day-Lewis: A Life" ). p. 5. A&C Black〕 Daniel's mother was Jewish, and his maternal grandparents' families had emigrated to England from Latvia and Poland.〔 〕 His maternal grandfather, Michael Balcon, an important figure in the history of British cinema, was the head of Ealing Studios. Two years after his birth, the family moved to Croom's Hill, Greenwich, south-east London, where Day-Lewis grew up along with his older sister, Tamasin, who became a documentary filmmaker and television chef.〔Segal, David. ("Daniel Day-Lewis, Behaving Totally In Character" ). ''The Washington Post'', 31 March 2005〕 Living in Greenwich, Day-Lewis found himself among tough South London children, and, being partially Jewish and "posh", he was often bullied.〔Corliss, Richard and Carrie Ross Welch. ("Dashing Daniel" ) ''Time'', European Edition, 21 March 1994〕 He mastered the local accent and mannerisms and credits that as being his first convincing performance.〔〔 Later in life, he has been known to speak of himself as very much a disorderly character in his younger years, often in trouble for shoplifting and other petty crimes.〔Jenkins, Garry. (''Daniel Day-Lewis: The Fires Within'' ). St. Martin's Press, 1994, ASIN B000R9II4O〕〔Wills, Dominic, ("Daniel Day-Lewis Biography" ). 'Tiscali UK'' Retrieved 25 February 2006〕 In 1968, Day-Lewis' parents, finding his behaviour to be too wild, sent him to the independent Sevenoaks School in Kent as a boarder.〔 At the school, he was introduced to his three most prominent interests: woodworking, acting, and fishing. His disdain for the school grew, and after two years at Sevenoaks, he was transferred to another independent school, Bedales in Petersfield, Hampshire,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tatler.com/the-tatler-list )〕 which his sister attended, and which had a more relaxed and creative ethos.〔 The transfer led to his film debut at the age of 14 in ''Sunday Bloody Sunday'' in which he played a vandal in an uncredited role. He described the experience as "heaven", for getting paid £2 to vandalise expensive cars parked outside his local church.〔 For a few weeks in 1972, he and his parents and sister lived at Lemmons, the north London home of Kingsley Amis and Elizabeth Jane Howard. Cecil Day-Lewis had cancer and Howard invited the family to Lemmons as a place they could use to rest and recuperate. Cecil died there in May that year. Leaving Bedales in 1975, Day-Lewis's unruly attitude had diminished and he needed to make a career choice. Although he had excelled on stage at the National Youth Theatre in London, he applied for a five-year apprenticeship as a cabinet-maker, but was rejected due to lack of experience.〔 He was then accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, which he attended for three years, eventually performing at the Bristol Old Vic itself.〔 At one point he played understudy to Pete Postlethwaite, with whom he would later co-star in the film ''In the Name of the Father''.〔(FILM; Pete Postlethwaite Turns a Prison Stint Into Oscar Material ) ''The New York Times''.
