The young actor farst won acclaim starring opposite Robert DeNiro in "This Boy's Life," earned an- Oscar nomination for his stunning performance as a retarded teen in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and held his own with Sharon Stone in "The Quick and the Dead." Now, there's "Mhe Basketball Diaries," a powerful drama based on the autobiographical, drug-enhanced musings of rocker Jim Carroll. As a youth growing up on New York's mean streets, Carroll excelled for a time at"high school basketball, then slid into a seamy existence fueled by heroin, petty crimes, prostitution and violence. "Diaries"~ is strong stuff, explicit and often unflinching, and DiCaprio's effective performnance' - especially an agonizing withdrawal sequence, has Best Actor Oscar nomination written all over it. On this April Day in Manhattan, a loose, friendly DiCapri'o, who looks far younger than his 20 years, faces the media at a Manhattan hotel to promote "Dares " It's pointed out to him that young actors these days seem to be tackling riskier material than their peers of years ago. DiCaprio disagrees. "Movies for young actors have changed,"1 argues DiCaprio, who made his big screen debut in "Critters DW` after playing a recurring role in the TV sitcom "Growing Pains."' "We're taken a little more seriously now as people in the business. I'm no spokesperson for my generation. It just seems the movies we'9re getting offered now, as compared to the Brat Pack days, are better. There are a lot more movies being produced about young men, unfortunately (for women), more coming-of-age stories. That's good for me. 1Iwas comfortable with the material in ('Diaries'). As far as an acting standpoint was concerned, there was so much for me to do. I saw a lot of color in the character and a lot of ways I could go. Doing those scenes, like the withdrawal scene, that I'd never experienced before was like, 'Whew!'. I ha to turn into a little primal beast. Doing those scenes where I'm strung out were weird to get into at first. But once I did, I got to explore what it was about. I didn't really rehearse them physically. I just went in there, knew what I was -goingto do and just did it" Jim Carroll himself served as a consultant on "Diaries." He even shares a scene on screen with his cinematic alter-ego. DiCaprio,reports that he and Carroll discussed the film.quite a bit and became friendly, but that they never tried forcing a connection. "We just hung out alot inmy t-aileron the set, and we just talked. I asked him questions about the movie, about the character, and all the different drugs. The cool thing about Jim is you can ask him. anything, and you'll get the most detailed answer on the planet, and it'll be completely honest." Ultimately, DiCaprio sounds pleased with "Diaries," explaining that it does -. justice to Carroll and delivers a profound warning about the evils of drugs simply by depicting the toll they took on one person WHO was lucky enough to survive. "When I saw the film I walked away disgusted by heroin. 'Me movie has a lot F E MAL.E CO0N DOM ^M more aspects than that," notes the actor, "but the thing that held me the most was 'I'm never going to try that.'
