@@erik9157 Tom cruise damn near plays the same role in every movie he’s in. No doubt a great actor not taking that away from him but Leo’s range is on a whole other level
Leo is the G.O.A.T... I've been saying this for almost 10 years now. He did Titanic as a kid, playing the role of the hopeless romantic. He does shutter Island, a creepy, slow burner. Then inception, a psychological action thriller. Django, Gatsby, the revenant... He made all of the movies he was in great and managed to not get tied down to a particular role.
Leo is excited and confident about his work therefor he shows up prepared. Anyone can do that in their own field if they are confident about what they do.
Truth be told, dude should have at least 10 Oscars. He is the BEST actor of his generation. These awards are BS. It took Will Smith a long ass time to get one and then he slaps someone that night. SMDH.
And also, Wills acting is not the best , if we're being honest, definitely affirmative action pick. It's like giving Jason Mamoa an Oscar, lol, good movies but come on.
Let me ask a simple question to those comparing Leo to other GREAT actors like DeNiro or Pacino. We’ve seen other actors do impressions of both of them and some are good at them too. But I’ve never seen someone do an impression (I might be wrong) of Leo. Why? Because he’s acting tendencies are always different depending on the role. We all know DeNiro will smirk no matter what the role asks, Pacino will yell but Leo is on a different level. Just my opinion.
@@treenincove1726 ofcourse Daniel day Lewis is top tier stuff ....But remember, That Leo of 2002 in gangs of new York has evolved a lot....Just compare the two back to back performances--Wolf of wall street and the Revenant....in former movie, he is playing high octane energy character with long crazy speeches and dialogues and then in Revenant, he has very few dialogues in the whole movie, it's almost a silent film...In Revenant, he has acted with his body language alone....Now that's not just range but also great depth ...
@@intheair5434 Many people will disagree with me but I honestly think he's just alright. The performance where I thought he transcended into true masterclass to me was Django. In Django, he was ASTONISHING. Everywhere else he's good, but not astonishing. And that includes the Revenant.
@@treenincove1726 Daniel Day Lewis was playing the dominant role. Leo was playing a passive role as was needed. Leos character is the little pup and Daniel's is the junk yard dog. Day lewis has make up and a handlebar moustache. He has big scenes such as when he is using the knife to show leo how to kill a man, being covered in the Amwrican flag, intoning how he runs the 5 points as the city is shown superimposed on his hand, etc. When hes off screen the other characters are discussing the Butcher in hushed and awed tones. By contrast Leo is seen vunrable, chasing the love intrest, grieving over his fathers death, being confused over his love hate relachinship with his new father figure in the Butcher. Its no surprise that Daniel Day Lewis comes across as better. But I doubt that makes him the better actor. Its simply in the script, directing, and story.
@@stewartkee6115 Nah, bro. Let me tell you something right now. When I saw gangs-of-new-york, I knew nothing about Daniel Day-Lewis. I literally paused the movie to look up who the guy playing Bill the Butcher was and I found out it was Day-Lewis. I had heard about him for years but I never seen him act. His performance was so incredible in that film, I pause the movie just to look him up. You know why? It's because he out performed every single actor in that movie, including John C Reilly, Cameron Diaz, and Leonardo DiCaprio. He embarrassed EVERYONE, not just Leo. There was something about his performance that stuck out to me because it was like he wasn't acting at all, which I found out he wasn't. Everyone else was acting except him. They looked like amateurs acting opposite him. THAT'S AN ACTOR! After I saw that film, that's when I realized Leonardo DiCaprio was an OKAY actor.
True story. I was at a business conference with 10,000 people in the audience and I was one of the guest speakers and shared the back stage with a number of other speakers in sort of a "waiting room" before going on stage. The couple before me started their talk, but they split it into two segments. The husband was to do his segment first and his wife second. So she came off stage still miked-up and never switched off. She went to the toilet and let's just say she farted her way to heaven and back with that big sigh of relief at the end. All 10,000 people heard it and she still had to come back on stage to give her talk. Between the husband and the audience they agreed not to tell her so she could come and deliver her talk without embarrassment. I think he only told her about it about ten years later 😂
Danny Boy is next level. When Leo plays "tough guy" roles he is not convincing. For instance, imagine Leo play Danial Day's part, "The Butcher" in Gangs of NY? He doesn't have range at masculine roles.
My 8th grade teacher back in 97 always told us to watch his movies because he was a awesome actor. We watched Romeo and juliet in class, that was pretty cool .
What's eating Gilbert, basketball diaries,titanic,the beach,wolf of wall, inception,the revenant,shutter island..and so on and so on...I think he has the best resume
I worked as a 1st unit and Rigging Grip on "Django Unchained" for a few months when they were shooting down here around New Orleans. I have to agree with Ethan, who I did see on location visiting Leo at least twice, that Leo is the GOAT when it comes to acting. I watched him rehearse his part (Calvin Candy) and the part of his character's sister (Lara) because she wasn't on set yet. He acted just like an Antebellum lady with his voice and his physical appearance, and he did it in all seriousness, and without flubbing any lines. I also saw him spin around and start talking with all of the extras that were in a certain scene with him as soon as "cut" was yelled by the 1st AD. He spoke to those extras as if they were his acting peers without the slightest bit of arrogance or pretension towards them. Btw, I worked on more than thirty motion pictures with actors including John Malkovich, Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor, and Diane Lane to name a few. I have seen great actors at work, and Leo is the best all-around actor that I personally saw. One more thing, I have also heard the story about the "hot mic" incident with Sly Stallone. It was apparently on channel 1 which is the most important and most listened to channel on the radio system for motion pictures, and TV productions. The mic was stuck open, and everyone that tuned to channel 1 heard what appeared to be a sexual act being "performed" on Sly, while he gave very specific instructions on how he wanted it done...
I’ve seen a lot of people give the wrong criticism to Leonardo DiCaprio! People who say he’s overrated and he doesn’t deserve his success. Literally just because you didn’t feel the emotion he put in his characters! Not liking his acting is completely fine and normal. But you don’t have the right to say why do people want to work with Leo? Why do directors like Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese, and Christopher Nolan want to work with him? I don’t see the value in Leo? If you’re someone who’s just a normal person choosing what they like or don’t like about an actor! Then you’re not someone who judges who the directors want to hirer in their films.. it’s the directors job to hire the right people for their movies. I’ve seen people say people only want Leonardo DiCaprio in their movies just to make more of a buck for their movies! You’re not just insulting the actor Leo. But you’re also insulting the directors by thinking that you believe they’re stealing people who need to be in the actual movie, and instead hiring the right guy for the right job for this new movie!!! they’re just going to put Leo in the movie just to make the movie more markable. LIKE DUDE WHAT THE HELL??! Directors aren’t just going to choose actors for the sake of choosing them. If Leo DiCaprio is not needed in a movie don’t put him in the movie! It’s the directors job to see the value in an actor so they can use them often in the future. Just because you’re someone who never saw the value of Leo’s acting career! Doesn’t give you the right to say he doesn’t deserve his success, because YOU didn’t see the greatness of his career. He’s worked in this movie industry almost 30 years! That’s more than enough time to prove his worth.
Awards don’t dictate your legacy, it’s the long lasting impression you leave for playing a character that defines how good you are at your craft as an actor. To play and act someone else for 2 hrs and make that viewer forget who you really are and be submerged in the story and character is the reason some actors don’t take any roll thrown at them
Love ethan suplee, been following since i was a kid, in the shows i watched, and to see him grow up, and improve like he has, is inspriational. Also great at everything he does
I can’t believe how normal and relatable the dude is! It’s Almost like actors and celebrities are just like regular human beings and everyday folks! That’s so mind blowing!
Ethan reminds me of our generation’s version of John Goodman. A character we recognize but who has transformed but yet we all remember. All good stuff.
I love Ethan, but he isn't working with the skill of John Goodman. John is trained as a stage actor, and the guys that can do stage and film are just on a different level
@@michaeledwardsii6615 yeah he was it was done in a respectful way but also saying like come on I’m not about to give you details of my friends life bc you have some weird infatuation with him
Leo Di caprio is the best actor in the world and one of the best ever if not the best. Way before titanic made him huge, what's eating Gilbert grape, basketball diaries he was jist a young kid in them and his performances was unbelievable and he has just went from strength to strength. Glad to hear he is like that on set. He should have way more awards but the academy don't like his lifestyle dating models and everything else. Leonardo is the best actor that has lived in my opinion.
Man that one dude is obsessed with Leo, keeps bringing the topic back to him lol. Ethan Suplee has gotta be so sick of getting asked about Leo all the damn time. Cool to hear about his work ethic, though. That's what makes Leo Leo and Tom Brady Tom Brady, etc. etc. Total BS about the marriage and kids thing, though. All depends on the person. Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Tom Cruise, it goes on and on.
My uncle installed a dishwasher for Leo,he was passed out in his room in his ny apt the whole time n his buddies took care of my uncle very well.They said he had a long Night lol...Working in ny, this is very common with doing jobs for celebrities on West end Ave ,riverside,Soho .Not all are generous,I did a job for the guy who played goose in top gun n he was a clownnnn. Barely said a word n gave us no tip after being there for hours
Great guy and he’s professional. Also a fantastic actor, but I’m sorry I respectfully disagree and don’t think he’s the goat. Not even close actually. Marlon Brando, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day Lewis, Willem Dafoe, etz
Pat is 100% right... someone people are so obsess with their career they remove all distraction... are they egoist, narcistic etc etc... YES cause thats what you NEED to succeed. I respect someone like Leo or the couple PAT mentions for OWNING IT and not ''have kids to only abandon them later'' etc. Also, i am glad they are successful cause it made their sacrifice (of family, friends) worth it (pay off). PS: the way they described Leo = Winner attitude
Bro, come on. His job is super easy. Memorize some lines and have a blast every day making cool films. I think most of us would be motivated to do our work under similar circumstances.
@@anarki777 I worked in the business. 1 minute of movie = 1 hour of filming, alot of repeating and from different angles and always give emotional life to the screen while looking good, hang with cliques that give you job. If you don't believe me, go film a small movie 5 minutes. Try it ;) cause if it was so easy.. everyone would make millions by acting... like these 300 000 wanna-be actors in L.A alone
@@vonb2792 A lot of people just don't have talent or the right image / voice for the job. Apart from that, you then need the right connections or luck. I often read about celebrities and how they made it. It's often the case they're the cousin or son of so-and so... that's how most made it (mostly). The job itself isn't that hard when you compare it to other jobs.
@@anarki777 Come on the job is tough dont underestimate it. But easy part is there is finish. How good would it be if we could take few months of after couple of months of work...
I think a lot of these guys aren't familiar with his work. Which is understandable. The same way a lot of black people aren't familiar with Leo or Daniel Day Lewis. But Denzel should definitely be considered. He had a run from the early 90s to the mid 2000s that was extraordinary. And I believe if he had more opportunities he was get the recognition. But this is one of those times where race may have hindered that a bit.
I have no idea how people think this. Dude is always denzel in films. Then you’ll get the odd performance where he convincingly plays another human being. He’s got nothing on Phoenix, Bale, or DDL
@@theiggod6921 denzel plays the same roles, with the same punchlines everytime. He's a great actor, but is nowhere near the goat. He doesn't have enough diversity of roles and performances.
I don’t get into this celebrity worship culture that prevails in America but some of these cats do deserve some praise. A lot of “actors” are the same no matter what across every movie. I could watch Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy in every movie from here on out. Leo DiCaprio though is like Jack Nicholson and Laurence Olivier in one guy. Just a step above everyone else in his generation
Lmao, no offense to these guys but Leo would never show his face here. I would love to see him do a JRE podcast though. That would be magical to watch a 2hr podcast of him talking about his films.
@@starmorpheus I can’t see him doing that either. He only seems to do interviews where he can manage and maintain his public persona like on Ellen or something. I don’t think he wants people knowing who he has beyond the Hollywood movie star mask.
Jesus I didn’t even recognize this guy. Seen him in plenty of movies too and heard of his weight loss journey. Looks completely different with the beard and no hair lol
There are actors who have mastered a specific role and done very well with it (Deniro, Pacino, Denzel)… and then there are true masters who can mold themselves into any role and become completely different people. Daniel Day Lewis and Leo are on that short list. They’re both so versatile that it’s amazing.
Its easy to talk, if anyone reading this is a man and you could wake up tomorrow being as good looking, talented and rich as Leo. Ask yourself then if you'd be married or turn 23 to 25 year olds for as long as you possibly could. With divorce law and the destruction it causes to men i'd bet my life most would actually do the latter.
The Stallone hot Mike was real. I had friends on the crew. It was in Seattle. I think it was called Asassins. They brought the story straight from the set to the bar that night. The quote was " cradle the balls"
Knew I loved that guy. Bro he pulls these crazy young chicks lol Def the GOAT and also Ethan is a damn good actor man. Need to see him in a serious mafia flick. Bro you're a serious actor now de Niro level.. act with him. That's your new thing. ;)
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Leonardo DiCaprio plays about the same guy in every movie these days. He plays a great him, but he’s not really that diverse anymore.
Recently I watched a reaction video of Shutter Island and this movie is so good, that even the reaction go time . lol Just something about Leo working with Scorsese .
I have a friend that recently worked with Leo and he said that he will get to filming last and did his part and would leave. This is the recent movie he filmed in Oklahoma
Ethan & Sylvester Stallone "wives tale": Shepperton studios, "Judge Dread" movie, Sylvester in his trailer on set and forgotten he was "mic'd up" with a groupie.
Give someone a Script - they're told where to stand, what to say and how to say it...and after that effort - worthy of the Short Bus - you should get an award, maybe a gold star and a pat on the head.
Well if you’re talking actual acting ability then there’s definitely people better. But his film resume is second to none. Only other person’s filmography that comes to mind is De Niro’s run from the 70s-90s.
@@Gino565 leos the goat. His films are character driven, not plot driven. That the acting is what sells it. Stop whinging because people disagree with you.
