Day-Lewis started out as a stage actor, excelling at the National Youth Theatre before being accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

Lewis is known for refusing to compromise on any performance, fully giving in to each role he plays by working to immerse himself into the lifestyle of his character as much as possible, even to the point of negatively affecting his health. This made it hard for him to function as a stage actor, where such levels of commitment make performances harder to repeat on a nightly basis. He was far better suited to film, and even then as he grew older, his dedication and commitment to each part made it harder for him to continue with his next role.
