Daniel Day-Lewis did not appear in "Gangs of New York" (2002). The film starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and Daniel Day-Lewis's then-wife, Rebecca Miller.

However, Daniel Day-Lewis did star in Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" (2002), playing the role of William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting, a ruthless gang leader in 19th-century New York City. The film was a critical and commercial success, and Day-Lewis's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Day-Lewis is known for his intense preparation and immersion into his roles, and his portrayal of Bill the Butcher is no exception. He spent months researching the character and the time period, and even learned to play the accordion to better understand the character's background and motivations.

"Gangs of New York" is widely regarded as one of the best films of the 2000s, and Daniel Day-Lewis's performance is a major reason why.
