django-unchained-leonardo-dicaprio In many ways, Leonardo DiCaprio has long been waging a war against being known as "the guy in Titanic", a war which he has been winning for over a decade. After the success of Titanic, DiCaprio starred in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, where he played con man Frank Abagnale. In 2002, he also began a recurring partnership with Martin Scorcese which resulted in DiCaprio's acclaimed turns in Gangs of New York, the Aviator, the Departed, and Shutter Island. He showed his versatility in other films such as Blood Diamond, Inception, and Django Unchained. A three time Academy Award nominee as well as one of the shrewdest selectors of scripts in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most recognizable movie stars in the world as well as one of the most talented.

I love movies, literature, history, music and the NBA. I love all things nerdy including but not limited to Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Firefly. My artistic idols are Dylan, Dostoevsky, and Malick and my goal in life is to become like Bernard Black from Black Books. When I die, I hope to turn into the space baby from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
