In The Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort in a wild, electrifying performance that captures the excess and debauchery of Wall Street in the 1990s. DiCaprio masters the outrageous antics his character could get into, turning Belfort into an icon of greed and morals built on decay, and his comedic timing in particular does justice to the chaotic quaalude scene. Balancing charisma with reckless abandon, DiCaprio's work is thrilling as well as creepy, which landed him all-time critical acclaim, including an Oscar nomination for such a fearlessly dedicated performance.
