From a baby-faced TV star on Growing Pains to an Oscar-nominated leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio has grown up before our eyes — you probably even had a poster of the guy during his teen heartthrob phase. This Friday, he's starring in Inception, and critics are already singing the film's praises. As we wait to see it for ourselves, let's take a look back at some of his resume highlights. It kind of makes me want to watch his films for my next Netflix Challenge!

I thought WEGG was his best performance followed by TD, but in BD he really showed phenomenal talent in drawing the audience into caring for his character as a person, though the character is pretty self-serving.After having seen a sneak preview of "Inception" last night, I have to say I think this performance tops BD.

He's an amazing actor and one of the few ones I'd probably be very star struck to meet. Absolutely love Titanic, Blood diamond and The Departed.

Dear Leo, I'll never let go. -A PS This slideshow prompted some serious thinking. I think The Departed was his best work thus far.

loved him since his 'growing pains' days. i don't watch everything he does, but i think he is an amazing talent. it's pretty shocking he is still without an oscar.

Ive been a fan of Leo since i can remember being able to watch TV. and to think that he still has yet to be recognized by the academy is incredible. He is an outstanding actor. Which deserves an Oscar WIN

I have been a fan of Leo's since his Growing Pains days! He is an amazing actor...you can tell by his work how dedicated he is to his job and I agree with all the above posts that it is a crime he hasn't won an Oscar and he is SO deserving of it!
