is 61 today. De Niro has been nominated for the Best Actor Oscar five times, winning for Raging Bull in 1981. He also won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Do you know the role and film? Do you know who also won an Oscar for playing the same character?
Update: Garth has ably supplied the correct answers in Comments, so make your guesses before you click.
Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II. Marlon Brando also won an Oscar for the same character…. it is the only character portrayal to win two Oscars for two different actors.
