: : I enjoyed all the great answers to the "why DDL" query, SO.....here's another one:(the muggy weather in PA today, must have me testy or maybe I've just grown to trust all you Mohican followers:o)

: : The first movie of DDL's I saw was "My Left Foot"(was impressed with his acting abilities; Next was "Name of the Father"(a gripping cinema); I enjoyed both but didn't have a strong reaction to either. Then, LOTM appeared and my reaction was "I WANT THAT!!"(hahaha).

: : My point is, the romantic tale, fantastic music, and great make-up, I believe could have caused almost any actor(with a certain quality of acting ability, of course) to rise to the stature of "super hunk."

: : He rose to the occasion without any doubt; however, upon watching "age of Innocence" for the first time within a month of LOTM, my reaction was "that can't be the same man!" I know -- it's called "acting" but to my mind Michael Mann had more than a little to do with it.....your excellent & interesting opinions are welcome:o)  ann

: :I look at DDL as a chameleon. I can't believe the same person who played Christy Brown could be Danny Flynn (The Boxer). I can't picture Newland & Hawkeye as one in the same. And can you believe that Hawkeye was Tomas (ULOB) so many years ago?
: In my opinion that's what makes DDL one of the best yet least publicized actors around today. Not only does he bring quality to his roles but also the physical transformation...amazing.
: And as for retiring?  Bite your tongue! :) (just joking)
: I don't think he's retiring; I think he's taking a break. We tend to forget that he has some major personal upheaval in his life recently. He just got married a year and half ago and he became a Dad (for the second time) in June. 
: I miss him but I hope that one day in the near future we will be reading that he's signed up for his next role. If he's just taking a "short break" from acting, I can wait (I think).
