Robert De Niro
American actor (born 1943) · United States · Actors · also Italy
Robert De Niro is read about 19,100 times a day, in 120 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Two Oscars in six years - the first for speaking Italian as young Vito Corleone, the second for gaining sixty pounds to play boxer Jake LaMotta - established De Niro as the standard by which American screen acting gets measured.

, It’s Shakespearean, the whole thing. You’ve got a lunatic saying things that people are trying to dance around. It’s appalling. He wants to be reelected.
He doesn’t care for those people, and the people who he pretends to care about are the people he has the most disdain for.
Give him a chance. That’s what I said right after he was elected. Give him a chance. I give everybody the benefit of the doubt. This guy has proven himself to be a total loser.

Born August 17, 1943, De Niro trained at HB Studio, Stella Adler Conservatory, and Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio before breaking through in Mean Streets in 1973. A year later he won Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather Part II, the first male to win for an Italian-language performance. Six years later Raging Bull brought him Best Actor. The run that followed - Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, The King of Comedy, Once Upon a Time in America, Goodfellas, Heat, Casino - built a filmography so dense with classics that six of his films now sit in the National Film Registry. He stretched into comedy with Midnight Run and the Meet the Parents series, directed A Bronx Tale and The Good Shepherd, and kept earning nominations into his seventies for Silver Linings Playbook and Killers of the Flower Moon. In 1989 he and producer Jane Rosenthal founded TriBeCa Productions; in 2002 they launched the Tribeca Film Festival.
