Robert De Niro is one of the best actors. With a career full of iconic performances such as Vito Corleone in the Godfather Part 2, Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver and Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, there aren't many who can compete with him. Add to this his two Oscar wins, and lengthy filmography spanning almost 60 years and it's easy to see why he's one of the greats. Sure he's taken lighter roles recently, but after decades of putting out intense performances because of his method acting he has earned the break.

So we'll be exploring his entire career, focusing more on his three most impactful decades, and delve into all the moments where he truly lost himself in his roles. Moments like driving taxis for 15-hour shifts, paying to get his teeth ruined, and even gaining 60 pounds (27 kg) for his roles. With a portfolio of over 100 films, we aim to highlight the peaks of De Niro's career without overlooking the occasional lows.
