A ferocious, intensely focused predator who hunts only perfect roles.
Robert De Niro is legendary for his obsessive, single-minded dedication to his craft — gaining 60 pounds for Raging Bull, spending months learning a dialect, or driving a real cab to prepare for Taxi Driver. He is intensely private and territorial, rarely giving interviews or revealing himself publicly, yet on screen he explodes with magnetic, dangerous energy. Like a tiger, he alternates between long periods of stillness and sudden, devastating strikes — patient in preparation, ferocious in execution.
