One of my favorite actors currently and even before is Leonardo DiCaprio, who was born back in 1974.
I like him as well. I thought he was great in Basketball Diaries and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
What's surprising is that he began his career in commercials before he became the acting legend he is today.
Really, I never knew that. I think his most famous role was as Jack Dawson in Titanic. The sparks sure flew between him and Kate Winslet!
He was great in that, but what really rose him to fame before that was his roles in "The Basketball Diaries" as well as "Romeo + Juliet".
I never saw Romeo & Juliet. Another one of his I liked a lot was "The Beach". He is a versatile actor!
Speaking of his appearance on Titanic, his success is likely attributed to how Titanic became the highest grossing film of all time before Avatar took it over.
Yeah, I remember when Titanic was released. I had to take my girlfriend to see it three times. No wonder it made so much money, lol.
