One of the greatest actors presently working and arguably one of the best actors of all time, Al Pacino, celebrates his birthday today. Now, given that he tends to over-perform from time to time, he has also been overlooked occasionally for some of his finest work, particularly by the Academy but boy, does he deliver on speeches.
Vanity, Al, definitely our favourite sin…
1. The Devil in The Devil’s Advocate
Possibly one of the finest over-dramatic performances of all time…
2. Michael Corleone in The Godfather
“Let’s talk business…”
3. Tony Montana in Scarface
Say goodbye to the bad guy!
4. Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman
But not a snitch!
5. Tony D’Amato in Any Given Sunday
“I don’t know what to say, really…”
6. Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross
“When you die, you’re gonna regret the things you don’t do…”
