Leonardo DiCaprio's maturation as an actor

Now, more than ever, at age 36 Leonardo DiCaprio has proved that he is not just a actor for teenie-bopper fans of James Cameron's Titanic. DiCaprio has proved his reach as an actor working not only with Cameron but also with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Christopher Nolan. Scorsese has taken a particular liking to DiCaprio featuring him in 4 of his films (The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed, and Shutter Island) and in Shutter Island particularly he showed his reach as an actor. After Titanic DiCaprio kind of fell into obscurity for a while getting a role in the God-awful film The Man in the Iron Mask. His career got rejuvenated when he played opposite Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. After that film he caught the eye of Martin Scorsese who put him in Gangs of New York and DiCaprio said working with Scorsese really improved his acting range, and he had 3 more chances to expand it with Scorsese. His most recent starring role in Christopher Nolan's excellent film Inception. DiCaprio has nowhere to go but up as a very talented relatively young actor.
