During this time, he used eight aliases — even more to cash bad checks. Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio (born November 11 1974[1]) is a three-time Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning American actor who garnered world wide fame for his role as Jack Dawson in Titanic. ) has a dad (Christopher Walken) who loves fine things but doesn't pay enough attention to his job or spouse to hold onto them. So it's not too surprising that 16-year-old Frank tries to buy back his parents' happiness and affection by writing $2 million in bad checks. Steven Spielberg's comedy about a con boy who passes himself off as a pilot, doctor, history professor, and attorney general nicely parodies the ways a consumerist society encourages us to spend ourselves into debt trying to obtain what money can't buy.
