De Niro and Pacino are in their 60s, when they were Cage's and Cusack's ages they were acting in a very large vareity of roles
Besides like I said earlier, they can act any role and still make the character look heroic, even if the person is not a hero like Carlito in Carlito's way
Michael Corleone from innocent wide eyed boy to a complete bastard is not really heroic
De Niro in New York New York was a complete loser and what was heroic about the idiot he was playing in the adventure of Bollywinkle or whatever the name of that silly film is
There are so many roles they played earlier and to some extent till now which you can say are variables
Besides Cusack seems to phave perfected the role of playing losers while even Cage has not played that many heroic characters has he? From 8mm, to snakes eyes, cotton club and leaving las vegas most of his characters have been losers
