There is no need for any particular introduction for Al Pacino, if you are an avid watcher of Hollywood movies. The man is considered a cinematic legend and one of the finest actors in the entire world. His body of work, well, is terrific, albeit with a few misfires (some of them quite recent). Al Pacino of the recent times may be stuck doing average entertainers that sometimes goes way too bad (Jack and Jill and i, anyone?). But his past work has been stuff that masterpieces are made of! Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino – Who Is Playing Who in Quentin Tarantino’s Film!
Talking a little about his career, Pacino had made his debut in movies with the 1969 film Me, Natalie, where he had a brief role. His performance as a heroin addict in The Panic in Needle Park is what dropped The Godfather in his lap. The role of Michael Corleone is what became the breakout turn for Al Pacino. A little trivia there - the studios initially wanted Robert De Niro to play that role, before director Francis Ford Coppola put his foot down. De Niro later played a young Don Vito Corleone, Michael's father, in The Godfather II.
From thereon, Al Pacino played the lead in several masterpieces or cult movies in the '70s, '80s and '90s. Some of his best films are The Godfather series, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, And Justice For All, Scarface, Carlito's Way, Sea of Love, Scent of a Woman, The Devil's Advocate, Heat, Donnie Brasco, Any Given Sunday, The Insider, Insomnia etc. He has received multiple Oscar nominations for acting, and won one for the Best Actor in 1993 for his performance in Scent of a Woman.
