edjr 5,568 Posted July 15, 2013 The man is a wonderful actor that has slayed him some incredible puntang. What do you think his best acting role has been thus far? Blood Diamond? Shutter Island? The Departed? What say ye? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted July 15, 2013 Basketball Diaries. While Departed was my Favorite Leo flick and even though he was young when he did BD I think it weas actually his best work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Moz 69 Posted July 15, 2013 I am pretty sure DiCaprio is #1 actor at least currently. At least if you look at the combination of acting skill and box office appeal. If just going by pure acting skill. It would be DDL as the #1 and it isn't even close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted July 15, 2013 I'm gonna give a shout out to Gangs of New York as well. Leo's performance was overshadowed by the otherworldly performance by Daniel Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher. Still, Leo more than held his own in that film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, Leo more than held his own in that film. Any film DDL is in he dominates any other actor in it. Not Leo's fault being dominated by one of the greatest actors of all time. (which is tough as DDL has only stared in maybe 12 movies) -- Leo was great in the movie as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,895 Posted July 15, 2013 Gilbert Grape and The Departed are the only good DiCaprio performances I've seen, otherwise he's just average IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parrot 789 Posted July 15, 2013 Gilbert Grape and The Departed are the only good DiCaprio performances I've seen, otherwise he's just average IMO. I agree. He's a good actor, not a great actor. Didn't buy him as Howard Hughes at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,568 Posted July 15, 2013 Depp seems to be up near the top lately. Read where he was the highest paid actor in 2012. Depp's last film The Lone Ranger absolutely bombed and the couple before that didn't do so well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,317 Posted July 15, 2013 I think he's been pretty good in almost everything. The only time he stunk was when the movie just plain sucked, a la Blood Diamond or J Edgar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
