When Did Little Leo

[Jericho]

grow up?

I've seen him in Blood Diamond and Body Of Lies recently, and while they might not be great films, he is one fuck of an actor, totally believable.

I'm impressed! :shrug

[kukm4]

Try The Departed

[Jericho]

Seen it and yes, impressed with him in that too!
(th0ugh more interested in Vera Farmiga!)

I always fucking hated him, but he's become such a great actor, even watched 'Catch Me If You Can"

Totally believable!

Obviously, as a real person, i have no idea, but as an actor, i always hated him, then....Wow, what happened?
What changed?

How about starting where he started ... What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He was fantastic in that. Gang's of New York also great. I mean, forget about Titantic and he's got a pretty good hit rate as a good actor.

Oh also - This Boy's Life which was one of the last good De Niro films.

[GroobySteven]

Actually just checked IMDB - he's only made two shit films - Titanic and The Man in the Iron Mask.

You should check out The Basketball Diaries also.

I thought he was a pretty good actor after watching him in This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and the Basketball Diaries. But after Titanic hit and Leomania happened, I kinda got sick of the guy. But yeah, after Gangs Of NY and Catch Me If You Can, my opinion turned around.

Perhaps if he had worked with P.T. Anderson and did Boogie Nights like he originally wanted to instead of Titanic, he could have kept his acting cred, but that would have come at the expense of his worldwide fame.

I remember hating him since Growing Pains, and then Titanic made me despise him even more, but then... Catch Me If You Can, Inception, Revolutionary Road, The Depa(h)ted(!!)... great films! I think I didn't like him because he always seemed like a man-child, but now he's finally grown into a real man. It's not so hard to watch him anymore.

Mark Wahlberg usually sucks and Boogie Nights is one of my favorite movies, and he was decent in it, but I can't see Leo in that role.

~BB~

I like most of what he's done, the Quick and the Dead suck a giant cock but that was a shitty movie all around and cant be totally blamed on him.


Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson's acting showed who horrible of an actor Matt Damon was in the Departed.

I had a crush on Leo since Growing Pains and like all his movies especiall Titanic( cry everytime I watch it), However I do like him better with his grown man swag.
