>> 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.

Sorry, if I offended you. I had no intention of slighting Robert De Niro. I have enjoyed all his movies that I have seen.
My point is the same one you made; that actors do not have the final say in how they are presented on screen. I only used this actor's name as it was in the initial post. The director has the final say on what he wants from the actor during the filming, and still takes another run at it at the final editing stage as the movie concept is crafted into the final product.
I still say that to judge an actor's versatility and talent from a few (possibly typecast) roles can severely misrepresent said actor's skills and potential. Lack of opportunities can also be a factor as we all know that there are many actors out there but very few choice roles available.
I hope I have clarified my initial post.
