Not in Hall of Fame If it's not in the Hall of Fame, it's at Not in Hall of Fame

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Danny Flynn

TV Show/Movie Appeared: The Boxer (1997)
Actor/Actress: Daniel Day-Lewis
Why you should vote:: Very few looked the part of the athlete; and dazzled us with their acting while doing it.
Why you should not vote:: Despite the name of the movie, boxing is really secondary here.
When Daniel Day-Lewis heads the marquee, you know you are in for a spectacle of great acting. Despite the name of the movie (The Boxer), the film really is not about triumph in the ring, though Day-Lewis took method acting far, and looked about as convincing as a boxer as any actor who ever donned the gloves. We will say that if acting skills is a part of your voting decision, we would not be surprised to see Danny Flynn enter our Hall.
