He's been a very good actor for a long time now, but he just got pigeon-holed as a teenage heartthrob, and that label is hard to shake. In his late teens he did What's Eating Gilbert Grape and This Boy's Life back to back opposite Johnny Depp and Robert DeNiro. He's really put a great stretch together recently, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Catch Me if you Can, The Departed and Blood Diamond.
He's getting the roles Scorsese would have used DeNiro for back in the day, and that speaks alot to his acting abilities.
