He played a fictional former President of the United States in the Netflix limited series Zero Day (2025). On stage, he made his Broadway debut in the play Cuba and His Teddy Bear (1986).

Many of De Niro's films are considered classics of American cinema. Six of De Niro's films have been inducted into the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" as of 2023.[14] Five films are featured on the American Film Institute's (AFI) list of the 100 greatest American films of all time. TimeOut magazine's list of 100 best movies included seven of De Niro's films, as chosen by actors in the industry. De Niro's "You talkin' to me?" dialogue was ranked number 10 on the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes.[15]
