|
| |
| Al Pacino was born April 25 1940 in East Harlem,
New York, and was raised in the Bronx. It wasn't that long
before Pacino discovered his acting ability. Pacino was rather
poor, and he lived in a poor neigborhood with his Grandmother.
Growing up Pacino acted in lots of stage performences. Before
his first movie was ever made he won a "Tony" for a stage play
he'd done.Pacino recieved his great acting ability from the
HERBERT BERGHOF STUDIO and the ACTORS STUDIO, both in New York.
Pacino starred in a couple of award winning plays. Then he won
the lead in the film "The Panic in Needle Park," in which Pacino
played a drug addicted crook. "The Panic in Needle Park" pasted
his way to Francis Ford Coppola and the role of Michael Corleone
in "The Godfather, ( 1972)." The Godfather gave him his first
OSCAR nomination. The film is about the fictional mafia crime
family known as the Corleone crime family. Than came an almost
unforgettable role in Serpico, a film were Pacino plays a cop
who fights against coruption. After Serpico Pacino took on the
role of Micheal Corleone once again in Francis Ford Coppola's "The
Godfather Part II", Pacino is the don of the family, and we
watch his rise as "don." "The Godfather Part II" earned Pacino
another OSCAR nomination. Next Pacino stars as the homosexual
bank robber Sunny in "Dog Day Afternoon" a film which co-starred
John Cazel. Pacino did a few not to hot flicks, then came back
with "Scarface." "Scarface" got some mixed reviews, but it
brought Pacino back in a way. His next good movie was "Sea of
Love." "Sea of Love" which got some good reviews, mostly about
Pacino's great performence. Pacino was again nominated this time
for his role in "Dick Tracy." Mostly because he did such a good
job acting with all that make-up on. Once again Pacino returned
to his role as Micheal Corleone in "The Godfather Part III."
Pacino has now had a bit of a film streak. In 1992 and 1993, he
gave his two great performances in "Scent of a Woman" and "Carlito's
Way". He won his first OSCAR for his leading role in "Scent of a
Woman". He's been starring in much more movies now. Like the
obsessed cop in "Heat" trying to track down Robert De Niro.
Playing the mayor in "City Hall." And writing and directing his
own love letter to William Shakspere called "Looking for
Richard". Pacino came out with some more movies in 1997. One
starring Johnny Depp called "Donnie Brasco." his second in 1997
was "Devil's Advocate" with Keanu Reeves. |
