Leonardo Dicaprio: Departed
built 136 days ago
Leonardo DiCaprio has been an international superstar since the box office megahit Titanic (1997, directed by James Cameron). In front of the camera since childhood, his first big role came in 1991, on the television series Growing Pains. As a young movie actor he won critical raves for his role in This Boy's Life (1993, with Robert DeNiro), and an Oscar nomination for What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993, with Johnny Depp). His performance in 1996's Romeo and Juliet proved his bankability as a leading man and heartthrob, and after the success of Titanic (with Kate Winslet), DiCaprio became a favorite of the tabloids, with a party-boy reputation. He kept on working... and has since grown into one of Hollywood's top movie actors. Along the way he appeared in Woody Allen's Celebrity (1998, with Gretchen Mol), starred in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can (2002, with Christopher Walken) and made three movies with Martin Scorsese: Gangs of New York (2002, co-starring Cameron Diaz), The Aviator (he was nominated for an Oscar for playing eccentric innovator Howard Hughes) and The Departed (2006, starring Matt Damon).

This role comes after a string of parts in his deep, 15-year career have seen him as everything from a mentally challenged teenager in What's Eating Gilbert Grape to Howard Hughes in The Aviator.

The next potential Martin Scorsese-Leonardo DiCaprio project is still sitting on the negotiation table as Paramount and Warner Brothers do battle over co-production rights. "The Wolf of Wall Street", adapted by Emmy-winning "Sopranos" writer-producer Terence Winter, is owned by Warner Bros, the studio that released "The Departed", but Scorsese's directing gig is at Paramount.

[J]ust because The Departed was one of the best movies we’ve seen this year doesn’t mean you can skate by with a lame gorilla outfit, Leonardo DiCaprio. Use some imagination, ok?
