Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill the Butcher

He's a freakin awesome actor

kmike76, what the fuck, native americans are pseudo-history to make the whites feel guilty?? Someone mindfucked you.

one of the best caracters ever

should've won an oscar for this performance too

Adrien Brody won the oscar, and I dearsay he deserved it. He played the pianist in "The Pianist" (hehe)

His heritage may be Irish, but he was born in America. He mentions his father dying in the War of 1812.

sorry buddy... he was born in the UK

Sorry, I was referring to the Bill Cutting Character. If DDL's father had died in the War of 1812, that would make DDL rather old himself, I would say.

now that clears everything up :)

I thought he was of Irish descent... just been there long enough to consider himself American?
