Biography of Al Pacino
Though Coppola won out through slick persuasion, Pacino was in constant fear of being fired and replaced at any minute during the hellish shoot. One of the greatest actors in all of film history, Al Pacino established himself during one of film’s greatest decades, the 70s, and has become an enduring and iconic figure in the world of American movies. The film marks the second phase of Pacino’s career, the first film to feature his now famous dark, owl eyes and hoarse, gravelly voice. His Method approach would become the process of many actors throughout time, and his unbeatable number of classic roles has already made him a legend among film buffs and all aspiring actors and directors. Pacino found himself often repeating the plots and voices of characters who he had seen in the movies, one of his favorite activities.
