About Me

Good day to you all, you may have seen me in a few films over the years. Some of my achievements include:1974 - Won - Best Actor in a Supporting Role - The Godfather, Part II 1976 - Nominated - Best Actor in a Leading Role - Taxi Driver 1978 - Nominated - Best Actor in a Leading Role - Deer Hunter 1980 - Won - Best Actor in a Leading Role - Raging Bull 1990 - Nominated - Best Actor in a Leading Role - Awakenings 1991 - Nominated - Best Actor in a Leading Role - Cape Fear.My political views often blur or indirectly sensationalise my true feelings towards this beautiful country. When I am not living an almost "normal" American life I like to try and attempt in running the redevelopment of TriBeCa in Lower Manhattan. My capital ventures have included co-founding TriBeCa Productions, a film studio, the hugely popular TriBeCa Film Festival, and the TriBeCa Grill, Nobu, and Layla - restaurants that usually need advance reservations!A couple of screenshots of Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon from my new film opening on December 22nd (Copyright www.ign.com):From a recent Phoenix House event at the Mandarin Hotel in Columbus Circle, New York City. The event honoured American Express CEO Ken Chenault for his dedication to public service.

My Interests

Acting is my profession but the art can also be classed as an interest, catering industry and family.

I'd like to meet:

Sir Galahad from Arthurian legend, Robin Hood and Humphrey Bogart.

Music:

My tastes are too diverse to list.

Movies:

1. The Godfather Collection (1972, 1974 and 1990) 2. Brazil (1985) 3. Once Upon a Time in America (1984) 4. Flawless (1999) 5. Jackie Brown (1997) 6. Goodfellas (1990) 7. Mean Streets (1973) 8. Casablanca (1942) 9. Raging Bull (1980) 10. Heat (1995)My favourite films are also too diverse to fully list. You may sense the bias in the aforementioned selection above, but they are the favourite films that I have been in involved in. Casablanca was just added in there before I forgot - an all-time bona fide masterpiece!Vanity Fair party at TriBeCa, April 2006:Vin Diesel, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NY Fire Chief Nick Scarpetta Tribeca Film Festival, May 3, 2004 Photo: Jim Spellman"The Two Greatest Actors of All-Time?!" at Al's Chinese Coffee Premiere:

Television:

I rarely indulge in television. NBC and CBS have grown a lot over the years with sitcoms becoming more dominant which can sometimes be misfires. Frasier was a favourite of mine though. I hardly ever watch films on television even if I am starring.

Books:

I rarely have time to read books in between the processes of making motion pictures. However, I am a big fan of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" and Mark Twain.

Heroes:

My parents, Montgomery Clift, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler and Marlon Brando.With Bob Dylan (1977):
