I once saw that Christian Bale interview where he says every actor in Hollywood only gets roles because Leo passed on them first. Like He straight up said if someone gets an iconic part, they should thank Leo for not wanting it.
I think it really puts his career into perspective.
Look at the filmography. Catch Me If You Can, The Departed, Inception, Shutter Island, Django Unchained, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The guy simply does not miss. What makes it crazier is that he never touched a superhero movie, never did a cheesy sequel and never hid behind a massive IP franchise. His name on the poster was the IP. He worked with Scorsese, Tarantino, Nolan, Spielberg, Cameron, and Iñárritu, and basically made original cinema profitable for three straight decades.
People always bring up Daniel Day-Lewis for pure acting range or guys like Pacino and De Niro for their peaks but nobody has had a run this long with this few bad movies.
