If you had told me during his short tenure on "Growing Pains" that Leonardo DiCaprio would go on to greater fame, I'd laugh in your face.

But now, nearly 20 years later, DiCaprio, aged 37, is playing such real-life historical figures as Howard Hughes ("The Aviator") and J. Edgar Hoover, respectively, at the multiplex--and making HUGE money in doing so.

Personally, I think DiCaprio did an accurate portrayal of Howard Hughes & his battle against an extreme case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
