Robert De Niro's Short Bio

Robert De Niro, born on the 17th of August, 1943, in Greenwich Village, New York City, is an American actor widely renowned for his work on the big screen. For that, he received tons and tons of awards particularly two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, AFI Life Achievement Award, the Cecil B Demille Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and a handful of BAFTA Awards nominations. That's how much influence De Niro had, and still has, in the world today.

Before there were Raging Bull and Goodfellas, De Niro first acted for a school play in The Wizard of Oz where he played Cowardly Lion. Sure enough, playing the role must've sparked something inside of the legend, paving the way to his future career.

1963 was the year De Niro took a big leap in his career, bagging a small role in the movie, The Wedding Party. Technically, though, he did his movie debut for a French film named Three Rooms in Manhattan. In 1968, he received his first lead for Greetings --marking the first of many in the future.

10 years after 1963, however, could be argued to be De Niro's best year in showbiz. With Mean Streets and Bang The Drum Slowly released in theatres, his performance piqued the interest of audiences.

Decade in and decade out, De Niro has been the star audiences have been waiting for. With projects such as Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver with Martin Scorsese, The Godfather: Part II, and more have been welcomed to the list of legendary films--all of them starring De Niro.

The 2010s aren't as scarce for the old actor with projects such as The Irishman and American Hustle amongst many more.

You could say that De Niro has worked alongside the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Morgan Freeman, Zac Efron, etc. But you could also argue that this list of actors have been blessed to have worked alongside De Niro instead.
