In 1992 he left the show and was critically acclaimed in the movie "This Boy's Life". The critics darling from that point on, DiCaprio has since starred in "The Basketball Diaries, Romeo and Juliet, and Marvin's Room". Though at this point a popular star, he would rise to the top of his game after starring in the box office smash "Titanic". From there he created such movies as "The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Beach".
