After early parts in My Beautiful Laundrette and A Room with a View, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for My Left Foot, in which he played the writer Christy Brown, and again for There Will Be Blood and Lincoln, making him the only man to win the award three times. His other films include The Last of the Mohicans, The Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York and Phantom Thread. He is selective in his work, and has retired at least once to work as a shoemaker.
