: My contention is: absolutely. I am glad to see Leo shed his "heart-throb" image and really get into a role. In 'Gangs of New York,' he showed some true acting chops, but was out-acted by Daniel Day Lewis, who should certainly get an Oscar for his performance. In 'Catch Me If You Can,' he really enhanced his role by the range of emotion he showed. He was so successful that he even showed up quite possibly the greatest actor of our time, Tom Hanks. No doubt he has matured into a fantastic actor, and he is still very young. My question to others is: Do you agree? And if not, why?
