Born in LA in 1974, Leonardo was a TV actor (including, early on, milk commercials) and bit-part player in movies before hitting his stride with This Boy's Life, What's Eating Gilbert Grape? and The Basketball Diaries, all tricky roles sensitively handled. The more palatable Romeo & Juliet led to his casting in the unsinkable Titanic, for which he was about the only thing not to be nominated for an Oscar. Since then he has been lined up to feature in both American Psycho and a Godfather prequel, opting instead for Scorsese's Gangs Of New York.
