During the filming of In the Name of the Father (1993), Daniel Day-Lewis stayed completely in character as Gerry Conlon for the entire shoot. To recreate the harsh prison experience, he insisted on: • Sleeping in a real jail cell, • Eating only prison food, • Allowing crew members to verbally abuse him, • And he even asked to be kept cold and uncomfortable so he could feel Conlon’s real suffering. 🍿 In The Name Of The Father

They said it was criminals, gang members, or drug dealers. I don’t know how many gang members are also nannies with children in a park. The goal is to make Los Angeles feel terrified and scared — it won’t work. We will come together and we will always defend our immigrant community.
