Robert De Niro's "Vince Lombardi" will be a lot like Robert De Niro's other characters over the last 10 years

We found out last week that Robert De Niro will play Vince Lombardi in an upcoming movie. Some are saying it could be the comeback role he needs.

These people obviously didn't see him as "The Archbishop of Peru" in The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

Robert De Niro doesn't have to come back from anywhere, because he never left. And if his audition tape for the movie is any indication, his portrayal of Lombardi should rank among the best impersonations in movie history.

Right up there with Kevin Spacey in Beyond the Sea, and Jennifer Love-Hewitt in The Audrey Hepburn Story.
