ROBERT DE NIRO One of the most gifted actors of his generation, and often regarded as heir to Marlon Brando's legacy, Robert De Niro has combined the qualities of exceptional movie actors—danger, unpredictability, magnetism—with a distinctive touch of nihilism. The son of abstract expressionist artist Robert De Niro and painter Virginia Admiral, he studied drama with Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, and appeared in several off-Broadway productions early in his career. De Niro's first on-screen appearances were in films directed by Brian De Palma: his roles in "Greetings" (1968), "The Wedding Party" (1969) and "Hi, Mom!" (1970) hinted at the defiance and irreverence which later defined his work. Glimpses of later signature characteristics were also visible in his portrayals of a moody, drug-addicted criminal in "Bloody Mama" (1970) and a charming small-time thief in "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" (1971). |

The De Niro-Scorsese collaboration has produced some of American cinema's most memorable performances: the deranged Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver" (1976), for which he was again nominated for a Best Actor Oscar; jazz saxophonist Jimmy Doyle in "New York, New York" (1977); boxer Jake La Motta in "Raging Bull" (1980), which won him the Oscar for Best Actor; frustrated comic Rupert Pupkin in "The King of Comedy" (1983); and small-time mobster Jimmy Conway in "GoodFellas" (1990). In these remarkable performances, De Niro managed to project the reprehensible qualities of the characters without diminishing their humanity. For example, Travis Bickle's psychotic rant to himself in the mirror ("You talkin' to me?") was so chilling because it seemed so real; so human. The scene had since became a touchstone of modern technique. |  |
