Robert De Niro made his film debut in Brian De Palma’s comedy The Wedding Party in 1963. However, due to disagreement between the film director and investor, the movie wasn’t released until 1969.

For the role of the young Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II, De Niro won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor. The movie received 11 nominations at the 47th Academy Awards, winning 6 of them.

In November 2020, the crime comedy The Comeback Trail was released where De Niro played a movie producer and a scammer.
