This Is Daniel Day-Lewis’ Best Collaborator — and No, It’s Not Paul Thomas Anderson

Daniel Day-Lewis has often been cited as the greatest actor of all time, and it is easy to see why. While he may not have a filmography that is as extensive as that of Robert De Niro or Jack Nicholson, the commitment that Day-Lewis shows to each of his roles ensures that every project that he is involved with is treated like a major event. Day-Lewis also has the benefit of great taste, as he often works with filmmakers who can match his level of intensity. He’s also been praised for his collaborations with Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed him to an Oscar-winning role in There Will Be Blood and reunited with him for Phantom Thread, which was considered to be Day-Lewis’s final role before he announced that he was coming out of retirement for Anemone. However, Day-Lewis would not have the career he has today if it weren’t for his series of collaborations with the director Jim Sheridan.
