Decaprio is an OK actor but he looks like a kid so there are few roles he's believable in for me. Some of the worst casting I've ever seen was DeCaprio in Gangs of New York. He and the female lead, I think it was Cameron Diaz, were just totally miscast. Anytime DeCaprio has to play a tough guy it's just laughable. He was blown off the screen by Day Lewis in GONY and the rest of the supporting cast. Yeah he started off playing mentally retarded teenagers and wimpy types. Granted, Lon Chaney Jr also played a mentally retarded character but he was a BIG guy-that was the whole point of it, a gentle giant. DiCaprio is shoehorned into roles he is definitely not ideal for.
Now he is playing a former tv western star in Tarantino's next film. So-is he supposed to be James Arness or Dennis Weaver? Because he is closer to the latter.
