Robert De Niro

Among the greatest actors in the history of cinema, perhaps the greatest of all. Four roles fully attest to this: the vigilante anti-hero Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver" (1976), the marked and disillusioned ex-soldier Michael Vronsky in "The Deer Hunter" (1978), the authoritarian and violent Jake La Motta in "Raging Bull" (1980), and the golden-hearted gangster Noodles in "Once Upon a Time in America" (1984). A monument. Thank you, Uncle Rob.
