Leo is a great actor. Can’t deny it. He basically gets first pick of any script in Hollywood and all the great directors want to work with him.

He takes his roles very seriously and it shows.

Daniel Day Lewis melts into his roles. You see him on screen and I’m not saying to myself “hey it’s DDL, look at him go”. With Leo it’s kind crazy because I always see him, I see Leo but he does a such a convincing job that eventually I get into the story and the movie and don’t care that it’s him anymore. His persona is not a distraction while not being hidden.

He has done a great deal of variety, I can’t say he has a signature style like other actors… yeah, I just genuinely like his acting and his movie choices. I’d go to see anything with him in it.

Do others outshine him? I wouldn’t say that. And it’s good he doesn’t outshine all others around him. A great supporting cast is what makes a great movie. I’d say in Django Unchained he was certainly a scene stealer but it didn’t overpower the film.
