Really downhill for him the last 20 years.

Pesci? He plays himself in every movie
I can respect that he does that. With Deniro, the bad has infected all his roles for me. I look at a trailer or movie poster -

And I think "why are you doing that? You were in Mean Streets for God's sake."

Those actors are great but have nothing on this man. He is by far the greatest living actor, in my humble opinion.

I'll forever have the thought of Deniro "schmoe squatting" various twink actors stuck in my head now :).
Truly the worst actor ever and a giant piece of shit. Guy should be beaten to death and I will celebrate that.
Greatest actor
The only one close to De Niro when it comes to sheer acting skills might have been the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, hell the guy was even amazing as a Mission Impossible villain (the only memorable character in the entire series lol)
Bob the Pussy Di Queero is no match for legend Lawrence Tierney!I love all his old film noir flicks....he was a bad dude.
Reservoir Dogs and later career
In 1991, Quentin Tarantino cast him in a supporting role as crime lord Joe Cabot in Reservoir Dogs. The success of the film bookended Tierney's career in playing gangsters. In an homage to his first starring role, Tierney reports that one of his henchmen was "dead as Dillinger".[23] During production, Tierney's off-screen antics both amused and disturbed the cast and crew. At the end of his first week of directing Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino got into a fist fight with Tierney and fired him. He later referred to Tierney as "a complete lunatic" who "just needed to be sedated".[24]
Despite his reputation as a brawler and being difficult to work with, Tierney remained in steady demand as a character actor in Hollywood until he suffered a mild stroke in 1995 which made him gradually slow his career. He had suffered a previous stroke in 1982. He turned to doing voice-over work on animated features and made occasional appearances in film and television (most of which feature him only sitting) as his health slowly deteriorated until his death. One of Tierney's later roles was an uncredited cameo appearance as Bruce Willis' invalid father in Armageddon (1998) in a short scene which ended up being deleted from the theatrical version. The same year, his long-time agent, Don Gerler, recounted Tierney's continuing troubles with the law: "A few years back [in 1994] I was still bailing him out of jail. He was 75-years-old and still the toughest guy in the bar!"[3] His final acting role was a small part in the 1999 independent film Evicted, written and directed by his nephew Michael Tierney, after which Lawrence Tierney, then age 80, retired from acting altogether.
Off-screen troubles
Tierney's numerous arrests for being drunk and disorderly and jail terms for assault on civilians and lawmen alike took a toll on his career.[1] He was an admitted alcoholic who tried to go sober in 1982 after having a mild stroke, once observing during a 1987 interview that he "threw away about seven careers through drink".[21]
Between 1944 and 1951, Tierney was arrested over 12 times in Los Angeles for brawling, frequently for drunkenness which included ripping a public telephone off a wall in a bar, hitting a waiter in the face with a sugar bowl for refusing to serve him any more drinks, and attempting to choke a taxi driver.[25] He was jailed for three months for brawling in May 1947[26] and again in June 1949[27] and drunkenness in January 1949[28] and October 1950.[29] His legal troubles included a 90-day jail sentence which he served from August to October 1951 for breaking a New York college student's jaw during another barroom brawl. He served 66 days in the city jail in Chicago, Illinois from March to May 1952 for drunk and disorderly charges.[30][31][32] In October 1951, he was sent to a mental hospital in Chicago after being found disheveled in a church.[33] In New York City, he was arrested for assault and battery of a barroom pianist in August 1953 and again in October 1958 for resisting arrest and assaulting two police officers in another barroom brawl.[34][35] At the time of his October 1958 arrest outside a Manhattan bar, The New York Times reported that he had been arrested six times in California and five in New York City on similar charges.[35]
In January 1973, he was stabbed in a bar fight on the West Side of Manhattan.[36] Two years later, Tierney was questioned by New York City police in connection with the apparent suicide of a 24-year-old woman who had jumped from the window of her high-rise apartment. Tierney told police "I had just gotten there, and she just went out the window." He never was arrested or charged with the young woman's death.[3] The apparent suicide closely resembles the death of Rosa, played by Allene Roberts in the 1951 film The Hoodlum.[improper synthesis?] Tierney's Vincent Lubeck, the hoodlum of the title, is suspected of driving Rosa into throwing herself off a roof shortly after talking to Lubeck.
In July 1991, during the filming of Reservoir Dogs, Tierney shot at his nephew in a drunken rage at his Hollywood apartment, and was arrested and jailed. He was released for a day from the jail to continue filming, as recounted by the film's director Quentin Tarantino in an interview. As a result, Tarantino never again worked with or hired Tierney to act in his films.[37]
Personal life and death
With much of his career and personal life repeatedly embroiled in legal problems and hampered by chronic alcoholism, Tierney elected to never marry despite having several short-term relationships with a number of women in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. He did, however, father a daughter named Elizabeth who was born in 1961.[1][3][38]
Both of Tierney's younger brothers preceded him in death, Edward dying in 1983 and Gerard (actor Scott Brady) in 1985. On February 26, 2002, at age 82, Lawrence Tierney died in his sleep of pneumonia in a Los Angeles nursing home where he had been residing for one year after suffering another debilitating stoke.[39]
Scary guy on Seinfeld

I won’t bring politics into this...
But Robert DeNiro is not the greatest actor of all time.
In my opinion Anthony Hopkins is superior.
Jack Nicholson.
End of discussion.
Doesn’t deniro have a tiny pecker?
I worked on this movie and was on stage when they filmed this scene. The crew was in awe on how intense it was and the great acting from all involved.
Congratulations to Bob and his 3-month old :)
I'm a "Late In Life Miracle Baby"...It seriously sucks to have a Dad that is very much older than your peers.
Did he adopt this Asian baby or his wife is Asian?
Deniro played the same character most of the time, all the same facial gestures regardless of comedy or serious roles..You sound like you`re describing John Wayne......guy was the same in every part except in Ghengis Khan where he made an even bigger tool/fool out of himself.
Also...Nicholson and Brando.^^^^ THIS
Pesci? He plays himself in every movieI wouldn't say that to his face.
Most of the superstar actors play the same character every time.Yep, that is why they got that specific part to start with.

Yup. Worked well for John Wayne and when he had a moment of WTFWW (What the fook went wrong, LOL!), he played "Genghis Kahn" and was that ever a stoopid mistake.John Wayne is the most overrated actor ever.
Congratulations to Bob and his 3-month old :)

Not even the best actor in his school of friends -

5) Robert Duvall

Deniro was great from 76 to 96....there might have been a couple of movies after 96 but everything since then has been worse and worse.I agree......good post.......he sux now, as does Pacino who fucking screams all of his lines....they`re not hungry anymore, but no one can day these weren`t great flicks by Deniro:
One thing I liked about Bob is when he was a serious actor, we didn't know anything about him. He kept a very serious but private public persona. I think he even said that it's easier to pull of a good performance the LESS the audience knows about you.
But as his movie portfolio and his acting have nosedive into mediocrity, his public life has been embarrassing for any self respecting person. But I'm sure Libs like him more now than ever
I agree......good post.......he sux now, as does Pacino ho screams all of his lines....they`re not hungry anymore but no one can day these weren`t great flicks by Deniro:
Raging Bull
Once Upon A Time In America
The Godfather
The Deerhunter
Cape Fear
Taxi Driver
Mean Streets
Cop Land (iffy )
Casino
A Bronx Tale
Goodfellas
Midnight Run
..............and a bunch of stuff that was mediocre at best or just plain garbage......but his early stuff is classic.
You`re right,forgot about "King Of Comedy" good flick.
And King of Comedy. He plays against type and does it well.
Jerry Lewis was really good, too.
De Niro wasn't getting the response he wanted from Lewis and went into a rant about how Hitler didn't do enough, or something like that. Lewis said that he would never work with De Niro and/or Scorsese again.
You`re right,forgot about "King Of Comedy" good flick.Yes, the only Jerry Lewis movie that I like.
Lewis at his age was lucky to get any work.......I always heard Lewis was a tough guy to work with (hearsay of course)....Scorcese is one of the best with or without DeNiro......his new go to guy is Dicaprio.
I worked on this movie and was on stage when they filmed this scene. The crew was in awe on how intense it was and the great acting from all involved.
Denzel shits on alot these guys. I will say that Daniel Day-Lewis is definitely an all time great. I put DeNiro and Pacino up there with Denzel. I prefer DeNiro over Pacino. Pacino is too animated for me.
That said, Denzel will be I'm Gladiator 2 in a key role. Can't wait to see that. He's also playing Hannibal. The AFRICAN King the nearly took down the Roman Empire. That is a must see.
Don't forget John Cazale, FIXED! Deniro doesn't make the podium.Died young achieved hero status, he was a shit actor
Truly the worst actor ever and a giant piece of shit. Guy should be beaten to death and I will celebrate that.
Now that I thought more about this, throw Edward Norton and DiCaprio in there too. Idris Elba is another favorite of mine as is Michael Fasbender and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Marlon Brando is peak acting. And yes, John Cazele, RIP. Died so young.
Pesci? He plays himself in every movie

Denzell blows them all out of the water in acting, and in real life...I honestly don`t think I`ve ever seen Denzel give a bad performance even if the flick itself was mediocre.

Watch "Fences" if you haven`t seen it.......great flick.
Not even the best actor in his school of friends -Don't agree with his politics, but De Niro is a great actor! One of the best. Entertaining in his prime!

Don't forget John Cazale, FIXED! Deniro doesn't make the podium.He was good. But give De Niro his credit. You might not like his politics. I don't. But I am not going to say he was a shitty actor. His early movies were fantastic!
DANIEL DAY LEWISDon't forget: THERE WILL BE BLOOD
PLAYS DIFFERENT CHARACTERS IN EVERY MOVIE!

Very odd behavior.Great actor, but low class and irritable in real life. Too bad.
You know how they say ever met your heroes...My family and I had the unfortunate displeasure of coming across DeNiro in Tribeca NY a few years ago.
Old man had a mean scowl on his face as he walked past us until my brother recognized him and and said "Mr Deniro, how are you sir? I'm a big fan!"
He just nodded his head and walked on by until my brother decided to go back and ask for an autograph. Bob yelled at him saying no and then told him to go away and stop bothering him.
Great actor but terrible person IRL

goodfellas, mean streets, a bronx tale, taxi driver and cape fear were his best work. other wise somewhat mediocre
Denzel plays Denzel in every movie.
He wasn't Denzel in Training Day when he won his Oscar.

Levrone was pretty good in the movie “Redline,” he had a lot of potential to go further in Hollywood but choose bbing instead
Honorable mention, the Rock and Vin Diesel
Honorable mention, the Rock and Vin DieselTwo future multiple Oscar winners for sure.
I enjoy Zac Efron movies, his new one “the iron claw” about the Von Erich’s looks good
This DeNerdo character is grating Fortress’s nerves with his Libtard insanity and TDS.
He was great as Ted Bundy. I think it's on Netflix.
