Now that the dust has well and truly settled on an awards season in which Daniel Day-Lewis picked up a third Best Actor Oscar, FMV Magazine’s Simon Collings asks whether the acclaimed talent is the greatest actor to have ever graced the screen.
These are the best actor performances from Martin Scorsese films. Scorsese's masterful movies always feature magnificent performances

Around two years ago, as part of his preparation to play the couturier Reynolds Woodcock in Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film, Phantom Thread, Daniel Day-Lewis re-created a Balenciaga dress. At that time, Day-Lewis could not have predicted that Woodcock would be the last character he would play. He had no sense that this film would engulf him in such a depression that he would be prompted to publicly announce his retirement from acting. On the contrary, he was, as he has always been when he takes on a new part, eager to immerse himself in yet another cinematic identity.

It appears as if Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis have stitched another jaw-dropping exercise in period extravagance.
No, he is not. A quick list off the top of my head of actor's who are way above him.
Marlon Brando
Robert DeNiro
Al Pacino
Humphrey Bogart
Clint Eastwood
He is the only actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in a lead role 3 times. That's something.
he is the only actor as of now to win 3 best actor awards in the oscars. that is a valid argument of considering him the best actor of all time.
One of the best actors I've ever seen. Brilliance.
