He has never retired from acting, and continues to work regularly in mostly film. De Niro has also received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 and the Golden Globe Cecil B. Robert De Niros Tribecca Film Festival is in full swing, which means the normally reclusive and press shy legendary actor is being quizzed by journalists. At the same time, he also directed and starred in such films as A Bronx Tale (1993) and The Good Shepherd (2006). Other notable performances include Brazil (1985), The Untouchables (1987), Backdraft (1991), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), Heat (1995), Casino (1995) and Jackie Brown (1997). De Niro has earned four Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, for his work in New York, New York (1977), opposite Liza Minnelli, Midnight Run (1988), Analyze This (1999) and Meet the Parents (2000). He received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull (1980). He received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Godfather Part II (1974) and received Academy Award nominations for best actor in Taxi Driver (1976), The Deer Hunter (1978) and Cape Fear (1991). In 1983, De Niro was cast in Martin Scorsese's satirical black comedy The King of Comedy, in which he appeared as a struggling comedian with mental health issues. It's the best film I've seen about the low self-esteem, sexual inadequacy and fear that lead some men to abuse women. After Raging Bull, De Niro appeared in neo-noir True Confessions (1981), in which he was praised for his performance. De Niro first gained fame for his role in Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), but he gained his reputation as a volatile actor in Mean Streets (1973), which was his first film with director Martin Scorsese. De Niro could do a better Brando imitation, but what would be the point Raging Bull is the most painful and heartrending portrait of jealousy in the cinema-an Othello for our times. He was trained at the Stella Adler Conservatory and the American Workshop. His father, Robert De Niro Sr., was a painter, sculptor and poet whose work received high critical acclaim. His paternal grandfather was of Italian descent, and his other ancestry is Irish, English, Dutch, German, and French. One of the greatest actors of all time, Robert De Niro was born on Augin Manhattan, New York City, to artists Virginia (Admiral) and Robert De Niro Sr. In Raging Bull, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro explore the soul of a profoundly violent man and search for the human core buried deep inside him.
