I respect Leonardo DiCaprio. Why? Because in the four movies I've seen him in, he's not afraid to act alongside people that you can tell he knows are better than him.
In Catch Me If You Can, his acting partner was Tom Hanks - at that point in his career, it wasn't possible for him to measure up, but he gave it his all anyway, and I respect him greatly for that.
Twice he's done that with Kate Winslet - Titanic and Revolutionary Road - and it's especially evident in Revolutionary Road, so he steps up his game even more.
In Inception, there are several figueres (Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, and Ken Watanabe the most principle among them) who are equal to, if not more skilled than him, yet he continues to put his all into his projects, in my opinion.
