But...those actors are all post-studio era stars.

Nicholson, Pacino and DeNiro were not honed and polished by the studio system but became stars during the "second golden age" of Hollywood when the young lions - Scorsese, Cappola et al - were breaking out using studio financing but in essence and style were "independent" filmmakers.

These directors were influenced by the Europeans (ahem), especially French new wave and Italian neo- realists, as well as classic American films.

The above actors were very much in the anti-hero mode.
