Without question, Robert De Niro is one of the iconic actors of his generation. Since he burst onto the screen he’s been an actor that has drawn both eyes and Oscar nominations. Whether he’s working with Martin Scorsese, David O. Russell, or some other director at the helm, De Niro has put together some truly memorable roles.
De Niro plays Young Vito Corleone in the second “Godfather” film, meaning he had to play the same character that Marlon Brando had portrayed in the first film. Brando won Best Actor at the Academy Awards for his work as Vito. De Niro followed that up by winning Best Supporting Actor for playing the same character.
“The Untouchables” is about Elliot Ness and his men trying to take down bootlegging, and specifically Al Capone.
De Niro plays a terrible comedian with big dreams named Rupert Pupkin in “The King of Comedy.”. He shares a fair amount of the spotlight with Jerry Lewis in his best acting work, but De Niro definitely still makes an indelible mark. 7 of 25.
De Niro was not known for comedy early in his career. Like we said, even in “The King of Comedy” things are dark and morbid and not traditionally “funny.” On the other hand, “Midnight Run” is simply a rollicking, rip-roaring action-comedy. The fact De Niro could handle the action is no surprise, but he was surprisingly adept at the comedy, though getting to work off Charles Grodin helped. This is one of the best action comedies ever and a true classic.
Early in his career, De Niro was popping up often in Best Picture nominees, and even a couple of winners, which includes “The Deer Hunter.”. That’s not a coincidence . This epic Vietnam picture featured De Niro as one of a group of friends who enter the Vietnam War and are never quite the same.
While Harvey Keitel is the star, De Niro steals the show as “Johnny Boy,” an unhinged loose cannon type that would repeatedly pop up in future Scorsese films.
