Defamer
Robert De Niro shuffled through Endeavor's busy revolving door Wednesday in the agency's third high-profile move of the week, marking the end of the Oscar-winner's long tenure at CAA. The addition comes days after Ashton Kutcher fled Endeavor for the confines of CAA, and nearly a week after the seismic defection of comedy power broker Nick Stevens and two partners from UTA. As Variety's Michael Fleming notes, De Niro "hit his payday stride" with his $18 million turn in Meet the Fockers; the move sets him up for continued forays into safe, tightly packaged middlebrow humor franchises that will secure his legacy as a shell of the standard-bearing American legend we grew up with. Bon voyage, Bob. [Variety]

Unfortunately, I said my, "Bon voyage, Bobby" years ago, along with "adieus" to Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman. Shadows one and all.
Meet the Fockers was Middlebrow? Along with, what, Porky's?
@raincoaster: No, Porky's was funny.
