Technically speaking, are there roles out there that the greatest actors can't pull off? Say Leo Dicaprio or any other great actor. I know there is no way to know for sure since you don't know what goes on in the their heads, but in your opinion: Can an actor get to the point of being able to pull any role thrown at them?

I don't see Leo playing a highschooller anymore but that's just me

Btw I mean only from a technical standpoint. I don't mean the fact that the look of the actor doesn't fit the part he's playing.

What would be the limiting factor behind “not being able to play a role”?

Not understanding the character or not being able to get into character I guess
Im not sure

If that's your criteria then tons of actors can get to that point
They may be type cast to a specific role

I might not have formed the question correctly.
Basically
Do you think theres a role out there that if handed to Leonardo Dicaprio, could make him say "I don't think I have what it takes to pull this off". Or is he just such a good actor that he can portray any emotion, any character?

I mean I don’t know Leo Di Caprio
I don’t think every person in the world can convey perfectly every aspect of the human condition
But you can be good at a role
Maybe not perfect
I think much much harder roles are ones that involve good knowledge of multiple languages for example
Multiple times it has been said “Hans Landa was very hard to find the cast for”
But ofc there was someone for that character
