One thing that doesnt immediately spring to mind when we think of De Niro is comedy.
In fact, its comedic roles that Robert De Niro apparently finds the most liberating to play.
De Niro says he especially enjoys the eccentric elements that comedy brings to a character.
His best performance of the three came inSilver Linings Playbook, for whichDe Niro received his seventh Oscar nomination.
However, this performance is more moving than it is funny.
David O Russell’s American Hustle is filled with renowned cast members, including Amy Adams and Christian Bale.
But which characters do they play?
If that sounds bleak, then De Niros brief appearance inBrazilis anything but.
He even abseils down a zip wire under cover of the night once his work is done.
De Niros character Rupert Pupkin is effectively another side of hisquintessential antihero,Taxi Drivers Travis Bickle.
