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. Description above from the Wikipedia article Daniel Day-Lewis, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

Underdale
for Underdale in Undertale (The Movie)
Suggested by taylorfrench
Undertale follows a human child who falls into the Underground, a hidden world beneath the Earth where monsters were sealed away after a war with humans long ago. Trapped far from home, the child must journey through strange regions—like the Ruins, Snowdin, Waterfall, and Hotland—while searching for a way back to the surface. Along the way, the child meets a cast of quirky, heartfelt monsters: Toriel, who tries to protect them; Sans and Papyrus, two skeleton brothers with very different vibes; the shy scientist Alphys; the dramatic robot Mettaton; and Undyne, a fierce monster determined to capture the human. Each encounter can be resolved in multiple ways—through violence or through mercy and understanding. The Underground’s fate hinges on the player’s choices. The barrier trapping the monsters can only be broken with the power of human souls, and the monster king Asgore plans to collect them so his people can finally be free. Depending on how the player treats others—sparring enemies, befriending them, or killing them—the story changes drastically. At its core, Undertale is about choice, empathy, and consequences. The game remembers what you do, challenges traditional RPG mechanics, and asks whether “winning” really means defeating your enemies—or learning to understand them instead. And yes, it will judge you. Kindly. Or not. 😅💔
