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.

for Victor Von Doom in Venom Beyond Darkness: Episode 2
Suggested by vadim_havard
The episode opens on the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier as Phil Coulson rushes to find Nick Fury but ends up having to just tell Maria Hill that they found an alien symbiote. After telling her the two go back to the lab where they meet with Miles Warren. The episode follows the three as they test on the symbiote and try to figure out where it came from. Meanwhile somewhere else we see a mysterious figure in the shadows speaking with scientist Arnim Zola about the symbiote making its way to Earth. The mysterious figure asks Zola if Hydra knows about it yet to which Zola replies they and S.H.I.E.L.D are the only ones. The mysterious figure reaches his hand out of the shadows and points at a screen playing footage of a symbiote coming to earth 19 years ago in 2004. They watch the as the symbiote in the video kills 200,000 people in Japan alone. The figure tells Zola that an organization called S.W.O.R.D managed to capture the symbiote and eventually found a way to kill it with fire and sound waves. The figure comes out of the shadows to reveal his scarred face and tells Zola they are going to need that symbiote if the next step of their plan is to succeed. We cut back to the Helicarrier where they continue to test on it but after a couple of hours an alarm goes off alerting the everyone on the Hellicarrier that there has been a breach. Phil, Maria, and Miles go to see what it is but when they get back the symbiote is gone and so is the breach.
