Day-Lewis “had a sort of meeting of minds with my father – they chatted about old houses and poetry. I think he knew immediately that his character would live in a

Back when I was supporting myself through college I worked in a fast food restaurant in Omaha. I was walking back to the kitchen after cleaning a table on a regular day. I saw a little boy standing outside of the door. He just looked like a normal little kid, so I smiled and walked on and didn’t think anything of it.

Like my hand went straight through him. I was completely shocked. He then turned, and I watched him as he ran out and disappeared into the parking lot. I asked another member
