Who would have thought in 1982 that some guy in a bit part in a three hour movie would end up becoming not only the finest actor of his generation, but one of the finest of all time?
I rememebr being pleasantly surprised when I spotted DDL when watching Ghandi. Just when you thought the movie could not be any better you get a sudden tiny cameo from another genius like DDL!!
Daniel Day Lewis gave a preview of what to expect from him in future roles. Well done sir, that proves the point that no matter how small part your offered take it if your an actor just starting out.
haha wow reading from the comments, ppl seem REAALY confused. The thug in the clip is DDL, he had a really small part because Daniel was relatively unknown then, now he's like one of the best actors working today.
My bad. I didn't mean to be replying to your comment. Someone before said that Daniel Day Lewis wasn't in this, I was just saying what time he came in at.
Hm , I never realized DDL was in Ghandi, I realize he did not play ghandin rather, the racist south African. I think he is one of the greatest thesbians of all time.
At the time of this production, the name "Daniel Day-Lewis" did not have the cache it has now. He was a young actor who got a role he was probably totally excited about... working with Ben Kingsley, etc. and making an epic.This was a good move for him.
What a bad but handsome devil.

Daniel is already natural in this movie, despite the brief appearance. It's good to see him career taking a turn for the better later on.
And Gandhi is an awesome film to boot. A definite watch.

People are actually thinking this is DDL, it's not, that is Ben Kingsley, and the reason he is so tan is because he is half brown.
