It’s always fascinated me when a director shows favoritism toward a specific actor. Now, that’s not to say that they go easy on the actor in question. No, no. It just means that when said director is developing a project, they might have a specific actor in mind, and they likely work very well with them.
Now, I’ve already covered Scorsese and his preference for Robert De Niro (with whom he has collaborated with nine times – nope, scratch that, make that 10 with the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon), and Leonardo DiCaprio (whom Scorsese has worked with five times – nope, make that six, as he's also in Killers of the Flower Moon). I’ve also covered Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, which is another famous duo, as they’ve worked together eight times.
