Who would've thought that this baby-faced actor would become one of the most world-famous and well-known actors of our time when he first starred in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "Romeo + Juliet"? Yet the talented Leonardo DiCaprio has stood the test of time. No longer just a handsome face that is type-cast in youthful romance stories, DiCaprio has broadened his appeal beyond movies like 1997's "Titanic" and played iconic roles alongside other well-known actors in such blockbusters as "Catch Me If You Can" (2002), "Blood Diamond" (2006), "The Departed" (2006), and "Gangs of New York" (2002).
Named Leonardo by his mother after she felt him kicking in the womb as she gazed upon a DaVinci painting while pregnant, DiCaprio's name will go down in history alongside his renaissance name-sake as one of the most prolific and captivating actors ever. Little Known Fact: As a child, he was once kicked off the set of "Romper Room" for misbehaving during filming!
