Who Are My Favourite Thriller Actors?

Robert De Nero- thought of as one of the greatest actors of all time. The actor has starred in over 100 films within his career. He was apart of the cast for the 1974 film 'The Godfather Part II', which led him to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Domestic sales of the film were $47,542,841, which is a huge achievement.

He has also starred in 'Taxi Man' which is also an iconic Thriller, where he won Best Actor in 1977. However, 'Cape Fear' has been arguably his most iconic and prominent Thriller as he was nominated for 5 Best Actor/Villain awards. 'Cape Fear' had box office sales of up to $182.3 million U.S Dollars, which is huge compared to his early 1974 film. 

Leonardo DiCaprio- commended for his ability to perform vast roles in many a genre. This genre is seen to be his most acclaimed work. His most prominent Thriller is the 2015 hit 'The Revenant' which after six nominations; finally won an Oscar! "The Revenant Tops $300 Million Globally", which was a headline in February 2016, proving in the space of 2 months, these statistics were seen (http://variety.com/2016/film/news/the-revenant-global-box-office-300-million-1201699555/). Psychological Thrillers tends to be his most preferred Thriller, as seen in the 2010 'Shutter Island', where DiCaprio starred* as a U.S Marshal 'Teddy' Daniels, who is requested to an asylum of insanity located on a remote, distant island, to capture an escaped murderess. This Thriller saw stats of around $294 million. In this same year, DiCaprio was involved in the psychological thriller 'Inception'.
