* CareerResurrection: For Leonardo [=DiCaprio=] alongside ''Film/GangsOfNewYork'' (also released in 2002). Unlike Gangs, where Bill the Butcher and Creator/DanielDayLewis was credited for carrying the film, Leonardo was clearly the central lead and star of ''Catch Me If You Can'' (albeit supported by Creator/ChristopherWalken and Creator/TomHanks in supporting turns). Frank Abagnale was a more complex character than Amsterdam Vallon (a rather classic Hero's Journey AudienceSurrogate). Both films by major directors proved that Leonardo was more than a pretty face made famous by ''Film/Titanic1997''. With ''Catch Me If You Can'' showing his range in a part that calls him to shift from comic to dramatic registers while also taking his usual romantic leading role characters and giving it a darker edge. More than that, ''Catch Me If You Can'' was a major commercial success unlike ''Gangs of New York'' which made a smaller profit than expected and both films set the stage for him to establish himself as one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation in the years that followed.
