Happy birthday Robert De Niro! Here's a look at the movie star's best, worst and craziest performances
movies have softened De Niro to such an extent that it's easy to forget the attributes that made him such a sensation in the first: He was wired, spontaneous, dangerous. As Johnny Boy in his first of many storied collaborations with director Martin Scorsese, the future greatest-actor-of-his-generation is introduced casually tossing a bomb into a mailbox; later, he strolls into a bar with a girl under each arm, to "Jumpin' Jack Flash.
As a tubby, preening, big-talking Al Capone, our man Bob is both monstrous and comical, like a character out of one of the mobster's beloved operas. But what comes through most in the performance is contempt: This is a man who thinks very little of everyone around him. It's perfect for the movie, too; the more ruthless Capone seems, the more we root for Kevin Costner's Elliot Ness to do everything he can to bring him down "the Chicago way.
