Oscar-winning Robert De Niro: exciting, charismatic, but versatile? Judging from almost 30 years' worth of his movies, this great American actor, who stars as a psycho baseball groupie in The Fan (see review on page 68), has a slightly limited repertoire. If you can match the movies with the roles below, you'll probably agree. -- Jake Tapper
