One of his first films...Di Nero started out in NYC. One of his first films was for Brian Depalma while Depalma was a student at NYU Film School. One of the profs there was Scorsese.<BR/>Scorses's first actor that he worked with was Harvey Kietel. Scorses then went to Hollywood where he did "Boxcar Bertha" for Roger Corman. He learned enough there to fly back to NYC and film "Mean Streets" where he starred Kietel and cast DiNero as the young troublemaker, Johnny.<BR/>That started their collaboration.<BR/>My fave moment between the two is when DiNero won the Oscar for "Raging Bull". Scorsese shoved a note into DiNero's hand. It was his acceptance speech. DiNero read it word for word at the podium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
