His good looks have worked against him. He’s been terrific in a number of films.
A lousy performance in the great film Gangs Of NY, with great performances by Day-Leeis and Neeson. A lousy performance in the mediocre film The Aviator. A lousy, (and confusing) performance in the mediocre The Departed with a fine performance by Nicholson. I couldn’t tell who was who between DeCaprio and the other ‘male Ingenue ‘. I wonder sometimes what’s Martin Scorsese’s deal a great director with some lousy taste in some of his actors. Maybe he’s a turd burglar.
