I expected so much more from one of the great acting talents of the 20th century.
I am writing because you decided to once again turn an award ceremony—this one, the American Icon Awards—into an obscenity-laced attack on President Donald Trump. It’s not the first time you’ve done it. It won’t be your last. I wish I could say I’m angry about it, but I’m not. I’m disappointed.
You played mobsters, a catatonic patient, a retired CIA agent, a comedian, a corrupt priest, a boxer, a thief, a soldier, an intern, a bounty hunter, a baseball player, a saxophone player, a taxi driver and a bus driver. You won your first Oscar nomination for that performance. And you won your first Oscar four years later in 1981 for your work in “Raging Bull.”
I’ll never forget sitting in the theater as the credits rolled. I was in tears. Though I was a much younger man than LaMotta, you made me feel his pain. What a gift. They may not have liked Donald Trump—and for many of the reasons you don’t like him—but they voted for him anyway. Because sometimes, people we don’t like are good at their jobs.
It seems to have become a part of your routine, your anti-Trump tirades. Sadly, routine is a word I never thought I’d come to use to describe you.
