His breakthrough came in 1992, when he beat out hundreds of other boys for the role of Toby Wolff in This Boy's Life, co-starring Robert De Niro and Ellen Barkin. The move from "star" to "superstar" came when DiCaprio played Jack Dawson in the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, his popularity skyrocketed, with the media dubbing it "Leo-mania". In 2002, DiCaprio starred in Gangs of New York (directed by Martin Scorsese) and Catch Me If You Can (directed by Steven Spielberg). Both films were very well received by critics. DiCaprio continued his run with Scorsese in the 2006 film The Departed as Billy Costigan, a smart undercover cop in Boston. His next film was Blood Diamond, released in December 2006.

Його перша роль полягала в симуляції Growing Pains (Зростаюча біль), але проривне кіно проявилося в житті цього хлопчика. Це швидко наслідувало те, що їсть Гільберт Грейп; його виступ, як розумовий брат Джилберт (Джонні Депп), приніс йому номінації на Золотий глобус та премію "Академія" за кращу акторну підтримку. ДіКапріо також був призначений на два BAFTAs, три SAG і сім Золотих глобусів. Він - Золотий глобус і срібний ведмідь.
Він отримав популярність за роль Джека Доусона в "Титаніку" і зіграв у багатьох інших успішних фільмах, включаючи "Romeo + Juliet", "Catches Me If You Can" і "Blood Diamond", за що він був призначений на премію "Академія" за кращий актор. Одне з номінацій на премію "Академія" прийшло на роль Говарда Хьюза в "Авіаторе", режисера Мартіна Скорсезе. Він також працював з Скорсезе в банд Нью-Йорка, The Departed і Shutter Island. ДіКаприо народився в Лос-Анджелесі, штат Каліфорнія, єдиною дитиною колишнього законного секретаря, а також підземним комічним артистом і продюсером коміксів. Його батьки розлучилися, коли йому було рік, і він жив переважно з матір'ю, хоча батько був з перервами. У дитинстві ДіКапріо цікавився бейсбольними картами, коміксами та часто відвідуваними музеями зі своїм батьком.
Кар'єра Дікапріо почалася з його появи в декількох рекламних роликах та освітніх фільмах. Він отримав перерву на телебаченні в 1990 році, коли його віддали в недовговічну серію на основі фільму "Батьківство". Його роль дебюту фільму - "Криттерс 3", фільм жахів "Б", який згодом пішов прямо на відео.

У 2002 році ДіКапріо знявся у гангстах Нью-Йорка (режисер Мартін Скорсезе) та "Catch Me If You Can" (режисер Стівен Спілберг). Обидва фільми були дуже добре прийняті критиками.
