There's little debate that Robert De Niro is one of the greatest screen actors of his generation, perhaps of all time. He has become known for his deep involvement in his characters, assuming each role completely into his own life, resulting in extraordinary, chameleonic performances. Yet little is known about the off-screen De Niro - he is an intensely private man, whose rare public appearances are often marked by inarticulateness and palpable awkwardness. In this biography, Shawn Levy writes of the many De Niros - the characters and the man - seeking to understand the evolution of an actor who once dove deeply into his roles as if to hide his inner nature, and who now seemingly avoids acting challenges, taking roles which make few apparent demands on his overwhelming talent.
