The talent is in the choices.
I didn't know Robert denero had six children did you?
Yeah I know but  He is particularly known for his nine collaborations with filmmaker Martin Scorsese, and is the recipient of various accolades, including two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, the Cecil B. 
He is a great actor in my opinion it does not surprise me has has received such prestigious awards
Yes and he also in 2009 received the Kennedy Center Honor, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom from U.S. President Barack Obama in 2016. 
im sure he recieved the freedom medal because of his involvement with film aid international
May be and his first major role was in Greetings 1968, and gained popularity with his role as a baseball player in the sports drama Bang the Drum Slowly 1973.
Greetings looks like a very interesting story line his chracter plots to avoid induction into the army during the Vietnam war. 
Yeah very interesting ,His first collaboration with Scorsese was Mean Streets 1973, where he played small time criminal Johnny Boy. 
I think it would be great to watch that movie. He usually plays a big time mob boss in movies rather than a scrapper working his way from the bottom to the top
