  LEONARDO DICAPRIO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Leonardo DiCaprio is an American actor and film producer known for his work in biographical and period films. His career began in the late 1980s, with early roles in television before his film debut in 1991. He received critical acclaim for his role in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) and achieved international stardom with Titanic (1997). DiCaprio sought roles in other genres to shed his romantic hero image, including Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Gangs of New York (2002). He founded Appian Way Productions in 2004. He is also an active environmentalist and was designated a United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2014. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Leonardo DiCaprio's parents met in college and moved to Los Angeles after graduating. His mother is German, and his father is of Italian and German descent. 
    
  As a child, DiCaprio wanted to be either a marine biologist or an actor, eventually choosing acting because he liked imitating people and seeing their reactions. He was also motivated to learn acting when another child actor earned $50,000 from a commercial. 
    
  DiCaprio has said his first television appearance was on the children's series Romper Room, where he claims he was dismissed for being disruptive, though the show's host has denied this. At age 11, he almost quit acting to pursue breakdancing, having taken second place in a competition in his mother's native Germany. 
    
  Early in his career, DiCaprio's agent suggested he change his name to Lenny Williams to appeal to American audiences, but he refused. He remained jobless for a year and a half, even after 100 auditions, and almost quit acting before his father encouraged him to persevere.

  DR. RANDALL W. JONES HAS INVENTED A LOT OF THINGS (he’s named on twenty US patents and patents pending), but he’s still on a quest to create the perfect cancer-detection device. In The Healthcare Disruptor, he discusses how anyone can be an inventor/innovator with the right tools. This book provides inspiration and instruction for entrepreneurs forging their own paths to success. Whether you’re taking on a powerful corporate giant, challenging your industry’s norms, or simply trying to understand how to take your first step in business, Dr. Jones has the answers."Healthcare is in crisis,” he says. “The system is broken." There’s too much emphasis on quantity instead of quality, and too many folks are on the take of big corporations. Major manufacturers and the insurance industry discourage managers from significantly improving their operation and healthcare delivery. But there are ways to change the system.

  Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world.  
   
  He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic.  
   
  Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor’s Journey to Broadway’s Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s inspiring story. As an autistic and legally blind person, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of  
  doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the  
  play Amadeus, cocreated the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph.  
   
  Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he  
  shows all people—autistic and nonautistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.

  Is life more fun or insecure owing to the uncertainty of events? If given a chance, some would want absolute certainty, and some would prefer a dash of surprises. The pandemic certainly has introduced us to a range of uncertainities that we never thought of before. Remember people hoarding supplies and ensuring they don't run out of food and essential items? Human beings engage in many actions that ensure safety, love, approval, comfort, power, control, money and other resources. These behaviours can have their own costs. Dealing with uncertainties can be exhausting and anxiety-provoking. The episode explores the connection of uncertainty and anxiety and trains you into techniques to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in various contexts.
