In this movie does he just have like a tiny part?

reasons im watching this film. Just Wondering.

Lol, you think he was jipped here, this is nothing! He was in an episode of Roseanne in '91 or '92 in one of the girl's classes on "Career Day", and after a one second clip of him laughing with the rest of the class after a joke, he gets his face blocked by the girl sitting in front of him for the entire rest of the scene! Pretty unreal to think that he went from such small roles to Arnie Grape in less than a year, ey?

Was he the kid driving the van at the end near the hospital? Leo Dicaprio? WTF....lol!

I don't think he was that guy, although he had make-up on, so maybe. I always thought he was one of the guys who hung out near the rope swing.

I hate when a person is credited as "guy" (as Leo is in this movie) or "girl", "kid", etc. Makes identifying them so much more difficult.

Haha if you're curious, Leo is the boy in the green/blue shirt, white shorts, who runs by the screen in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou4i6-s5zPw

He's in the movie for all of 3 seconds, you don't even really see his face!

So come up to the lab and see what's on the slab

reply

Yes, I agree with GreaseIsDaWord - I do believe that the boy in the green/blue shirt guy was Leo! :)

They do that because that is what is in the script. They are just extras. I.E. woman with plant or girl #2 at party. He was most likely one of the guys at the rope swing scene.

The confusion on this subject comes from the fact that, originally, Leo had a cameo with a small speaking part. He appeared in the original theatrical version and in early airings of the film on Cinemax in the early 1990s. However, inexplicably, he was cut from all future versions of the film. He does not appear in a speaking part in the VHS or DVD versions.

Originally, he appears as a background extra 2 or 3 times, and then also has a small part in the scene where the dog has been hit by a car.

As the scene originally played, when Gilbert and Berrymore are at the rope swing talking, you can very scarcely see Leo talking with someone in the background. Suddenly, a kid yells that a dog has been hit by a car. There is an overhead shot with the camera slowly panning down as a group of kids surround the dying dog. Leo is standing there giving an account of what happened to the other kids. Then, Gilbert comes up and kneels beside the dog, and Berrymore crushes its head with a stick. Leo's lines were something like, "He just ran out there. And they didn't even see him..." Later, he can also be seen running out of school with other kids. He may have even been at the rope swing another time I didn't notice. So, he must have worked on the film at least a couple of days, and had a small speaking part. THAT'S why he was credited.

But, as I said, the VHS and DVD versions cut abruptly from someone saying the dog got hit to a close-up of the dog and Sara Gilbert kneeling down, and Berrymore killing it.

So, now, most people are like, "Where's Leo in this thing?!?"

LOL.

I didnt even know he was in this lol

I saw this film and never took my eyes off the screen and when at the end I saw the credits that Leonardo DiCaprio was in this I was like "what?! Where?!"

I do NOT remember seeing him at any point.

I'll need to look out for him more closely next time.

What do you expect? He was a nobody teen actor. This was even before his rather forced feeling add-on role in the last season of Growing Pains. He had to pay his dues in bit parts and crappy direct to video flicks. He also did a role the third Critters sci-fi flick franchise.
