about that guy, other than as a very good actor.  But after seeing him in the opening monologue for SNL a few weeks ago with Jonah Hill, I've realized how damn funny he is.  Nice to see him representing.

Brian needs to better market his site. He should send Leo's rep a Mgoblog T-shirt so Leo can match the hat with the shirt when he goes out with his model girlfriend.

I know nothing of Leo. Does he have any connections to UM or know to be a fan? Or is the block M, dare I say it, fashionable in some circles?

Here's my chance to get negged to Bolivia. I don't think Leo is that great of an actor. I think he's put in a lot of great movies, but seems to be the same in each role. I always know that I am watching Leo and not whatever character he is supposed to be portraying. Catch me if you can was by far his best performance IMO, but nowadays all his acting seems generic. So ya, go ahead and hate me.

Gilbert Grape and The Departed are the two that stick out to me and really show off the acting chops.  Not to mention J. Edgar and especially Django Unchained.

Inception, Catch Me If You Can and Gangs of New York are three others where I was especially impressed with his acting.

I'll say this:  He was nominated for Best Actor in Wolf of Wall Street.  So...

 

Look, I see what you're saying, but his formula is working.  He makes movies, those movies make a lot of money.  He gets cast in other similar roles so that they can make money also.  Don't necessarily blame the actor.  The director and the screen writer are looking for something from their actors and he delivers.  Simple as that.
