'Catch Me If You Can'
He's one of America’s most wanted, and not just by adoring women. Now, Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio has got the FBI after him too in the new Steven Spielberg movie, "Catch Me If You Can."
Leo says his character is, "One of the more clever, more intelligent, and more egocentric criminals who ever lived."
He is a real-life schoolboy con man named Frank Abagnale, who posed as a pilot, a lawyer, and a doctor during a bizarre 21-month crime spree back in the 1960’s. Leo actually met the rogue himself while researching the part. He says, "There were a lot of conversations I had with Frank where he unconsciously didn't even realize certain things he was doing to deceive people."
Tom Hanks plays a veteran FBI agent who makes it his personal mission, Hanks says, "To track him down, and catch him if he can."
Only to find himself caught up in, as director Steven Spielberg calls it, "This vicious cycle of chasing this mouse that's much more clever than the cat."
