He was incredible in My Beautiful Launderette, which was one of his first major roles. It’s also just a fantastic film and worth watching for those who haven’t seen it. DDL made a splash the day that that film opened in New York as it was the same day as the premiere of another film he was in, A Room With a View, and people were really impressed because he played polar opposite characters in both movies. My Beautiful Launderette is one of my all time favourite Day-Lewis performances.
