Actor's striking resemblance to Lincoln

Actor's striking resemblance to Lincoln - Daniel Day-Lewis looks dignified while taking a break from playing the 16th president. Daniel Day-Lewis Has a Great Honest Abe Beard Going for ‘Lincoln’. It was just over a year ago that it was announced that Daniel Day-Lewis would be the star of Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln film. There's no question that the two-time Oscar-winner is an astonishingly gifted actor, but when you're playing a revered American president there will always be questions about whether you can do justice to a mythic figure in U.S. history -- especially when some people refuse to accept Day-Lewis in the role since he's English.
