I think he is a great actor at least since 1993 when he played in "This Boy's Life" (starring a super DeNiro, as well) and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", both excellent movies, in which young Leo shows all his talent. Critics may have not "forgiven" him for becoming a superstar after "Titanic", but he obviously was a great actor nonetheless. IMO, of course. [/b][/quote]I feel he was only a good actor then... Nothing better. It's about time he stepped up from the retarded little boy he was in those days.
