The first artist is Leonardo, called Leo in TMNT. The characteristics are not horribly paired, but they do not quite match up perfectly. Leonardo the creative/painter/sculptor/inventor/ architect/absolute genius does not quite fit into the leader/tactical/listening persona. Leonardo da Vinci had a workbook packed full of ideas which was written mirror image and backwards, because he was left-handed. Leonardo invented many things we still use today such as the tank, in a way the helicopter, and the parachute. On the other hand, Leo is a leader definitely not the inventor of the group, yet he is intellectual and strong like his artist counterpart. The character traits of the two Leonardos do not match up because one is an inventor whereas the other is more of a leader. Leonardo’s character should have been that of Donatello, because Donatello is the inventor/smarty of the group just like Leonardo da Vinci.

I really hope Leonardo DiCaprio wins an Oscar this Sunday. He has been in all of these amazing movies and has played brilliant roles and no one wants to congratulate him on it. People claim they are die-hard fans just because they saw Titanic and The Great Gatsby, but I bet they have never heard of his roles in Growing Pains, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, The Man in the Iron Mask, Django Unchained, or even the most recent Revenant. While mentioning Django Unchained, not many people know of the story behind shooting the dinner scene. In a fit of aggression, Leo, as Calvin Candie, slammed his hand on to the table, breaking a glass and slicing his hand. Any other actor would have freaked out and cried over their perfect, lotioned hand, but Leonardo
