Alfredo James "Al" Pacino is an American film and stage actor and director. He is famous for playing mobsters, including Michael Corleone in The Godfather trilogy, Tony Montana in Scarface, Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice in Dick Tracy, Carlito Brigante in Carlito's Way and Benjamin "Lefty" Ruggiero in Donnie Brasco, though
he has also appeared several times on the other side of the law — as a police officer in Serpico, a detective in Sea of Love and Insomnia, a lawyer in ...And Justice for All and as a lieutenant in Heat and Scent of a Woman. His role in the latter won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1993 after receiving seven previous Oscar nominations.

Al Pacino, with no doubt is in my opinion the greatest actor in Film History. His charisma, his energy, the way he adapts his playing in the role, makes him the genius he is. I see him on the screen playing his roles, watching his characters and I think "No one else could have done this better". If a politician would make a speech like Pacino did in "Scent of a Woman" I would give him my vote anytime and anywhere. Respects to The Godfather.
