Tim Conway

Currently, Conway voices the character "Barnacle Boy" in the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants. In 2004 De Niro re-married his wife Grace Hightower. Conway's more recent work includes a series of satirical how-to videos in which he plays a diminuitive Scandinavian known as "Dorf." Conway continues to appear in movies and has cameo appearances in TV series; most of these appearances showcase his comedic talent. De Niro played a younger version of Pacino's father in The Godfather, Part II.. Conway's work on the show earned him three Emmy Awards. De Niro is often compared to fellow iconic actor Al Pacino and they finally teamed together in Michael Mann's Heat (1995). He is probably best known, however, for his work on The Carol Burnett Show where his antics sometimes caused his fellow players to fall out of character by bursting out in laughter. In December De Niro attended an art exhibit in Rome where he presented his late father's art for the first time - Italian officials were surprised and claim that there are now no hard feelings.

The most popular of these is probably The Apple Dumpling Gang series of movies. In October 2004 he canceled an appearance in Rome, Italy after Italian officials claimed he had presented negative stereotypes of their ethnicity in his films. Of these films for Disney, he was often paired with fellow funnyman, Don Knotts. Contrary to popular belief De Niro is primarily Irish-American, not Italian. Afterwards, he starred in a string of doomed series before appearing in several slapstick family films. Interestingly, De Niro and Marlon Brando are the only pair of actors who have won Academy Awards for portraying the same person: De Niro won for playing young Vito Corleone in The Godfather, Part II, and Brando had won previously (although he declined the award) for playing the elderly Don Vito in The Godfather. He gained a following from his appearance in the 1960s sitcom McHale's Navy. He has won two Academy Awards: as Best Actor for his role in Raging Bull; and as Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather, Part II.

After graduating, he joined the Army, following which he took a job answering mail for a Cleveland radio station, where he went on to become a writer for the promotional department. In the mid-1980s, De Niro began expanding into occasional comedic roles, and has had much success in that area as well with such films as Brazil (1985), Midnight Run (1988), Wag the Dog (1997), Analyze This (1999), and Meet the Parents (2000). He attended Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, where he majored in speech and radio. In these films, De Niro has primarily played charming but emotionally unstable characters who have sociopathic tendencies. Conway was born in Willoughby, Ohio, and grew up in Chagrin Falls. He began to work with Martin Scorsese in the same year when the two collaborated on Mean Streets. Later Scorsese films in which De Niro has participated are Taxi Driver (1976), New York, New York (1977), Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1983), Goodfellas (1990), Cape Fear (1991), and Casino (1995). Conway was born Thomas Daniel Conway, but changed his first name to "Tim" to avoid confusion with actor Tom Conway. After that, he played some major and minor roles in other films not widely seen, until he gained popularity with his role in Bang the Drum Slowly (1973).

Tim Conway (born December 15, 1933, Willoughby, Ohio) is an American comedic actor. A graduate of the Little Red School House, De Niro made his first film appearance in 1968 in Greetings (directed by Brian De Palma). Although not articulate, De Niro is generally considered a skilled observer of physical tics and details, and an intense perfectionist. Praised for his commitment to his roles, De Niro gained 60 pounds (27 kg) and learned how to box for his portrayal of Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, ground his teeth for Cape Fear, and learned to play the saxophone for New York, New York (all Scorsese films).
