ROBERT DE NIRO (Don Lino) is one of the most honored actors of our time. A two-time Academy Award® winner, De Niro won his first Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of the young Vito Corleone in 1974’s “The Godfather, Part II.” Six years later, he took home his second Academy Award®, this time for Best Actor, for his transformation into boxer Jake La Motta in Martin Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.” For his work on that film, De Niro also won Golden Globe, National Board of Review and the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics Awards.
De Niro has earned four additional Academy Award® nominations for his indelible performances in Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver,” Michael Cimino’s “The Deer Hunter,” Penny Marshall’s “Awakenings,” and Scorsese’s remake of “Cape Fear.” He also received the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics Awards for “Taxi Driver”; a Golden Globe nomination for “The Deer Hunter”; and the National Board of Review Award for “Awakenings.”
De Niro had earlier won the National Society of Film Critics’ Best Supporting Actor Award for his work in Scorsese’s “Mean Streets,” and the New York Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actor for “Bang the Drum Slowly.” His many honors also include a New York Film Critics Award for his work in Scorsese’s “Goodfellas,” and Golden Globe Award nominations for his performances in Martin Brest’s “Midnight Run” and Scorsese’s “New York, New York.”
Considered a consummate dramatic actor, De Niro has, in recent years, been recognized as much for his comedic work. He starred opposite Billy Crystal in 1999’s smash hit comedy “Analyze This,” for which he earned Golden Globe and American Comedy Award nominations. The following year, he was again nominated for both awards for his performance as the fearsome prospective father-in-law, Jack Byrnes, in “Meet the Parents,” with Ben Stiller. He and Crystal reunited in 2002 for “Analyze That,” and later this year, De Niro will reprise the role of Jack Byrnes in “Meet the Fockers,” in which he stars with Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand.
De Niro’s other upcoming films include the dramatic thrillers “Hide and Seek” and “Chaos,” which he is also producing, and the drama “The Bridge of San Rey.” In addition, De Niro will direct the drama “The Good Shepherd,” in which he will also star with Leonardo DiCaprio.
His long list of film credits also includes Elia Kazan’s “The Last Tycoon”; Bernardo Bertolucci’s “1900”; Ulu Grossbard’s “True Confessions” and “Falling in Love”; Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America”; Martin Scorsese’s “King of Comedy” and “Casino”; Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”; Roland Joffe’s “The Mission”; Brian De Palma’s “The Untouchables” and “The Wedding Party”; Alan Parker’s “Angel Heart”; Martin Ritt’s “Stanley & Iris”; Neil Jordan’s “We’re No Angels”; Ron Howard’s “Backdraft”; Michael Caton-Jones’ “This Boy’s Life”; Kenneth Branagh’s “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein”; Michael Mann’s “Heat”; Jerry Zaks’ “Marvin’s Room”; James Mangold’s “Cop Land”; Barry Levinson’s “Sleepers” and “Wag the Dog”; Quentin Tarantino’s “Jackie Brown”; Alfonso Cuaron’s “Great Expectations”; John Frankenheimer’s “Ronin”; and Joel Schumacher’s “Flawless.”
A native New Yorker, De Niro takes great pride in his production company, Tribeca Productions, as well as the Tribeca Film Center, which launched the first Tribeca Film Festival in 2003. Under the Tribeca banner, De Niro has produced, directed and/or starred in a variety of film and television projects, including many of the aforementioned films. The production company’s first project was the acclaimed 1992 television series “Tribeca,” on which De Niro served as an executive producer.
