>> Think of Robert Dinero and Mel Gibson, for example, and you
>> already know what their character is most likely to beThis is a misleading statement regarding De Niro. If people pay him an obscene amount of cash to play a mobster, then it's not his fault (and I'll still see it). But this does not reflect his ability to play *any* character. Some evidence, just on top of my head:
- Meet the Parents
- Goodfellas
- Bronx Tale
- This Boy Life (De Caprio is great too)
- We're no Angels
- The Untouchables
- King of Comedyjust to name a few... DeNiro does have a kind of texture that makes him memorable.
