Rather ironic you bring up De Niro in a famous role as an example.
I preferred seeing DeNiro at the end of the “Joker” movie.
Intended it that way, although Deniro’s characters actual lines were actually “Are you talking to me” The Judges thin skinned interactions with Costello made me think “Are you looking at me?” and Deniro’s cringy speach is still fresh on my mind.
