Re: Leo makes a mockery of any role by his youthfulness . . . he's the New Age Mickey Rooney. *

He's okay in some roles.

But since you've brought up Leo being miscast, how about the Gangs of New York?

Though I enjoyed that movie, I still think he isn't a credible protagonist OPPOSITE THE CHARACTER PLAYED BY DANIEL DAY LEWIS.

He simple wasn't tough enough--physically or mentally. Since Leo was (mis)cast in the role of an immigrant (Irish, wasn't it?), I think Colin Farrell would have been perfect. He's Irish, he's a barroom brawler type, etc. (Agreed before it's brought up--Alexander the Great had an empire full of problems . . .)
