Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis (born 29 April 1957) is an English and Irish actor. Often described as one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema, he is best known for intense method acting portrayed with eccentric characters in auteur films. He is the recipient of numerous accolades including a record three Academy Awards for Best Actor as well as four BAFTAs, three Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Golden Globes. In 2014, Day-Lewis received a knighthood for services to drama. Born and raised in London, Day-Lewis 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 training he is considered a method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles. Protective of his private life, he rarely grants interviews and makes very few public appearances. Day-Lewis shifted between theatre and film for most of the early 1980s, joining the Royal Shakespeare Company and playing Romeo Montague in Romeo and Juliet and Flute in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Playing the title role in Hamlet at the National Theatre in London in 1989, he left the stage midway through a performance after breaking down during a scene where the ghost of Hamlet's father appears before him—this was his last appearance on the stage. After supporting film roles in Gandhi (1982) and The Bounty (1984), he earned acclaim for his breakthrough performances in My Beautiful Laundrette (1985), A Room with a View (1985), and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988). He earned three Academy Awards for Best Actor for his roles as Christy Brown in My Left Foot (1989), oil tycoon Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood (2007), and Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln (2012). He was Oscar-nominated for In the Name of the Father (1993), Gangs of New York (2002), and Phantom Thread (2017). Other notable films include The Last of the Mohicans (1992), The Age of Innocence (1993), The Crucible (1996), and The Boxer (1997). He retired from acting twice, from 1997 to 2000 when he took up a new profession as an apprentice shoe-maker in Italy, and from 2017 to 2024. In 2025, he starred in and co-wrote Anemone, directed by his son Ronan.

The Crooked Man
for The Crooked Man in The Wolf Among Us
Suggested by slendyman

Now we've seen couple of other live action games like "Last Of Us," "Mortal Combats," and the "The Walking Dead" (No not with Clementine, the others. But don't worry, I will be tackling TWD Telltale live action next). But as of being said, if "The Wolf Among Us" was ever to be created in live action, then here's what it needs to be. It needs be about a protagonist, named Bigby Wolf who is the sheriff of Fabletown, and formerly a big bad wolf, currently works at the "Business Office," and where it takes place in the year of 1986, which is nearly 20 years before the events of Fables. Now, he's in the investigation of a murderer that killed the fairytale characters. And I'm also gonna consider this as an episode of this series, instead of having to have a long movie just to make it boring (in case if you don't understand to what I'm saying). And I'm expecting this to be a live action sequel, drama, and a mystery thriller. I want someone with a comic book style like Guillermo does with his movies. So that's why I think he would make a great movie off of it. (Btw this is for fun, so it's nothing too serious.) So with that being said, let's get to the fancasts, shall we? Now that I've already done adding those characters, I'm feel pretty excited enough and confident to fancast the ones that I feel would've been great for those characters.
