Leonardo DiCaprio (born November 11th, 1974) started out his career on TV shows such as "Growing Pains" from 1991 - 1992 before holding his own alongside big names such as Robert De Niro in This Boy's Life (1993) and Johnny Depp in his Academy Award nominated performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993).  In 1995, he would play a heroin addict in The Basketball Diaries with Mark Wahlberg and star in director Baz Luhrmann's 1996 modern-day Romeo + Juliet before playing the role of Jack Dawson in 1997's highest grossing film of all-time, Titanic.  Leonardo DiCaprio's talent has always made for critically-acclaimed movies when matched with an A-List director such as Steven Spielberg in Catch Me If You Can (2002) and a string of movies with Martin Scorsese such as Gangs of New York (2002), The Aviator (2004) and The Departed (2006).  In 2008, Leonardo DiCaprio battled terrorism with Russell Crowe in Body of Lies and reunited with his Titanic co-star, Kate Winslet, in the period drama Revolutionary Road.  Leonardo DiCaprio's latest projects include yet another Martin Scorsese film Shutter Island (2010) and the Christopher Nolan directed Sci-Fi thriller Inception (2010).
