I love Robert De Niro.  I just saw him in an SNL sketch earlier that was so funny.  It was "What Up Wit Dat".  So classic!
De Niro was cast as Vito Corleone in the second Godfather
Yes indeed he was.  What other movies did he star in?  The Whole Nine Yards was a classic, lol!
He also started in a Martin Scorsese film called "Mean Streets"
What year did that movie come out?  I feel like I missed the era when De Niro was making so many good movies.
That movie came out in year 1973, which is also when "Bang the Drum Slowly" came out
I often wondered if De Niro was Sicilian or Italian.
He was also in Raging Bull. And they are not mutually exclusive!
