He wasn't even twenty yet, but he'd already made a name for himself. After landing a number of TV roles in shows, sitcoms and commercials, Leonardo DiCaprio made his film debut in 1991 with the horror film Critters 3 by Kristine Peterson. The film wasn't brilliant, but the seventeen-year-old actor was already making a name for himself in Hollywood. Two years later, he starred opposite Robert De Niro in Secret wounds (1993) by Michael Caton-Jones. The meeting with this actor, who was already at the top of his game, was to be of great importance ten years later, because De Niro was Martin Scorsese's favorite actor - a privilege he would later gladly share with DiCaprio; and in 2002 Scorsese began a long and fruitful collaboration with DiCaprio, under De Niro's guidance.
