Daniel Day-Lewis Replaced Liam Neeson in ‘Lincoln’
When Steven Spielberg decided to do a movie about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, he set his sights on Liam Neeson for the film ‘Lincoln.’ But once the cameras started rolling, Spielberg was underwhelmed by what he saw and felt that Neeson was no longer the right fit for the lead role. So, he went looking for a new lead and found one in Daniel Day-Lewis. The actor even won an Oscar for his portrayal in the film.
