Al Pacino hasn’t cleared his throat since Heat.

All seriousness though: smoker’s voice.
he became steevo :b
Whoooo Ahhhh

He’s been legendary for 50 years, think about that.
Success Comes First facts
Treat to have such a popular, universal legend alive. Let's take good care of him
Ayeeee
Success Comes First mob ties
he still is too thats the thing will always be
I met Pacino, I was 15 years old in 1983, I met him very briefly outside the theatre in NYC, he was performing in "American Buffalo" onstage that night. He was actually very nice, signed an autograph for me. I told him about the movies I saw with him I really liked like The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon. He smiled, shook my hand, very cool guy.
@oisaveloy It was so long ago, but it is a very happy memory. It was around the time Scarface was out in theaters. Pacino was great in the play. All the actors were. Like I wrote earlier, he really was very nice. Smiled and talked to people, signed autographs, and shook people's hands. Cool guy.
🤫
I've seen your comment on another Godfather channel xD
Wish I could do same
I don't know if Al Pacino is the best actor ever, but he definitely has the most commanding screen presence. When he is on the screen, even with other legends, he is the one who attracts attention.
Whose a better actor then him then? Him , Brando , De Niro are the Goats
@@steviedub9370 if we’re talking pure acting ability it’s probably between Al Pacino and Daniel Day-Lewis. The problem with Lewis is that he doesn’t have the biggest discography but his range is the greatest ever.
You can’t say De Niro or Al is better then one or the other. That’s just disrespectful to the other. The oooonly thing I’ll say is De Niro has had a couple filler movies that he could’ve done without
Al is one of my favorites but i love so many

What?
Interviewer: "Why you wearing shade indoors?"
Pacino:"The suns always shining when you're cool".
"Everywhere I go the wind follows, and it smells like rain"
Lol!!!
Kyle McMillan Dont ask such stupid questions.
The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.
In another interview he said that he wears them because he has an allergy?
His performance in "Scent of a Woman" was amazing and he really deserved the Oscar for that role.
Yep. I watched it for the first time two weeks ago with my grandparents and it’s definitely my top three Al Pacino movies now
fair, but its also like his 10th of my fav of his performances. Wonderful actor!
I haven’t seen that, is it any good?
he was great but Vittorio Gassman was better
That was also the one movie where after he became full Pacino
His Acting in Scarface is so freaking awesome. I’ve watched that movie 100 times and it’s never enough
you would think hes cuban😂
@@pretty_flaco exactly even the look
Scar face movie was made for him
@@pretty_flaco
Fun fact: Late pro wrestler Scott Hall based his character Razor Ramon on Al Pacino's Tony Montana character
Also Vince McMahon the CEO of the WWF had no idea it was a homage to Scarface, as he's never seen it nor knew of it and felt it was a genuine creation by Scott
The most intense great acting i have ever seen
He has screamed in ALL his films that’s why his voice sounds like that
*look how they massacred my boy*
@Kenny McCormick I would think it was both because Benjamin byron Davis was also a heavy smoker when they cast him in the first red dead. Then by rdr2 he had quit and you can notice the differences in the voices

@@SenatorPartySocks dutch
@@greedgod5827, Rob Wiethoff's voice had clearly deteriorated in the second game, but I believe it was due to his actual life as a farmer shouting at the herd.
The Irishman just reminds me that Pacino, De Niro, and Pesci are getting older and won’t be here forever. I don’t wanna think about eventually losing these legendary actors
You forgot Scorsese
DeNiro became a complete left-wing nutjob ever since Trump got elected. Not to mention, pretty much all of his recent movies (except The irishman) were complete flops.
Joe Pesci isn’t even in the same league
What a great movie though
olliemad bruh go and watch Goodfellas
Al Pacino's transition during the Godfather was stunning.
You need to bear in mind that at Connie's wedding, he appeared as an 'innocent' and an outsider to the family business, but he was already a Marine Corp officer and WWII combat veteran. So Mike had some steel in his character already, along with his Ivy League education, Corleone DNA and upbringing.
You see the Marine officer come out when he tells the nurse to help him wheel his father's bed out of the hospital room, and the combat veteran when he confronts Captain McCluskey on the front steps.
The transformation didn't start when McCluskey broke his jaw, or when he shot Sollozzo and McCluskey in the restaurant. It started December 7th 1941, when Mike decided to volunteer for the military.
Al Pacino is not only an actor, but a real hardcore artist, and therefore also touched by genius.
His acting as Tony Montana was just flawless and timeless.
Yeah I agree there was overacting in parts. If you want flawless acting then watch Pacino in the first two Godfather movies.
@Ron P
Pacino was also very restrained in Dog Day Afternoon, Panic in Needle Park and Insomnia. Probably does have something to do with the director but I don't think it's exclusively down to Coppola.
How many Oscars do you all have 😃
@@kidsfriends8269
You need Oscars to critique movies and actors now?
@Ron P I guess that's more of a typecast than overacting
“Hi I’m Al Pacino *if you didn’t notice* ” this dude is his own iconic character

The best character Al played was Michael Corleone. He was tough, he was at times funny, above all he was stunning to look at.
He was gorgeous 😍
Tony montana was the best
I feel that John Milton in Devil’s advocate was the best.

I’m not even a huge fan of Scarface but I love what he brought to that character. Same with his take on serpico, that movie is just excellent

Sort of like acting without acting. Having said that, it could also be considered acting with acting.
Tony Montana and Michael Corleone are legendary characters for ever!
Yess
Yeah they are
...and yet, his performances in Dog Day...& Serpico are much more identifiably humane.
@@philiphalpenny9761 Tony Montana is for boys
Serpico is for men :D
@@dhjgjkd Agreed, Montana is two dementional, but Serpico is a recognizable , flesh & blood human being . Pulp versus poetry...
“Dog Day Afternoon” one of the top 5 greatest performances of all time. How he didn’t win an Oscar for “Sonny” is beyond a crime.
Because he didn't kiss @$$ and take no 🐂💩 not like today entertainers who's only in it for 💰💸💵💰
Agreed!
Well, you should watch the performance of Nicholson as Randall McMurphy, is great. IMO, he got robbed by Pacino performance in the Godfather part II.
What do you mean by got robbed by Pacino performance in Godfather II? Jack Nicholson won the Oscar for best actor for his role as Randall McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Godfather II came out one year before One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. And Pacino didn;t wint the Oscar for Godfather II.@@marcosmartinez8088

How can you give Al Pacino only 18 minutes but give Seth Rogen 40 minutes? It’s a joke
I'm sure they justify it by that conversation with him nd De Niro
I imagine Pacino is a busy guy and had to go
Rowan Simpson he probably gave them 10 minutes and ran over to 18 minutes to be fair
Give ? Who are they to give this legend anything. If anything al pacino gave them 18 minutes of his time for us to enjoy. Plus the interview with de niro.
Look in the description, they said they didnt have long with him.
Pacino was one of my fathers fav actor along side with Robert De Niro. my father passed in 2017, i was 17, now 25...i get the chills every single time i see a film with Pacino or De Niro..my father would also tell me " the world is yours " crazy .
May your Dad rest in peace, Pacino is probably one of the best, alongside De Niro…. I fully agree with your dad…
My favourite portrayal is
Carlitos Way
Maths aint mathin g
One of THE GREATEST actors this world will ever see. I've watched all his films and loved every one of them. Also, a GREAT human being.
I've seen all of his films too. What a great actor, and every character is different. Did you see House Of Gucci? That was really good. Al has a new one coming out in September called Sniff. Same director as The Devil's advocate:)

Michael Corleone was his best role ever and he played it brilliantly!!! He’s a superb actor!

He is great in every single one of his movie.
For me, Heat and Carlito’s way
Corleone was the role who made him famous
Panic in Needle Park, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Goodfather...and Broadway. Brilliant genuine original one of a kind actor. Thank you Al for so much great art
The smoothness of his voice in “The Godfather” as opposed to now is insane.
Well considering that was almost 50 years ago....duh
I think he is smoker
Yeah, that's how we age sometimes. Look at the singers who were big in the 1950's get up there on stage and talk their way through most of their songs. It's because they're in their 80's and their voices are worn out and old. In Al Pacino's case, look at all the yelling and maniacal roles he had throughout his 50+ years of acting. LOL, I'm surprised he even has a voice left!! And he smoked a lot. He's still a favorite though! ;o)
@@zenahomar7590 He was a heavy smoker in his youth and that's what damaged his voice over time.
Vocal chords age. That's why its important for singers to practice their range /warm up. Smoking is horrible for your voice.
He’s like that cool grandpa you can’t stop talking to and asking questions
Nice profile pic. I jus watched that last night. The killing joke right?
Most people loves him because of Scarface but He’s outstanding in Dog Day Afternoon, Pacino gives a lesson of how to be an actor in that role
Godfather trilogy too.
Most people love him for godfather
Carlito’s way deserves more credit too ngl

His performance as Jimmy Hoffa in the Irishman was flawless!
He should of won a Oscar for Scarface. Even nominated.
For giving us the worst spanish accent known?? That's a great film but no where near his best. Not every entertaining film needs an oscar to certify its greatness
@@enoe How dare you! Scarface is iconic and Pacino made it legendary. If you watch Scarface and the first thing you focus on is an accent, you're missing the big picture dude
@@abeltesfaye_ we're discussing 2 different things here. 1st and foremost Brian DePalma did an absolute phenomenal job with Scarface. That and his other films should be celebrated forever. As far as Pacino's acting, I feel it doesnt scratch the surface when it comes to his capabilities. Serpico and Dog Day had way better performances
Albee H Agreed. Pacino is far too talented to be reduced to the performance of Scarface. Especially for it to regarded as Oscar worthy role. Entertaining film, with an electrifying character. But definitely not even close to his best.
@Huncho Hendrix you're not allowed to speak to me with a name like Huncho
Man, Al's voice as Michael Corleone in the 70s was so soothing and calm. His voice changed so drastically.
Soothing? It was calm and Terrifying! Corleone was someone you did not want to cross.

@@thelevisullivan and it was very heavy smoking apparently.
Fun fact: Your voice changes over time, especially if you use your voice a lot like singers and actors. Hence why Eminen's Slim Shady voice is gone, Britney Spears can't sing her old songs and James Hetfield has lost the growl he had in the 80s and early 90s.

I love his performance in both Scarface and Carlito's Way. The second one has become my new favourite gangster drama movie quite recently. Which is outstanding, because when you're thinking Pacino, you're thinking The Godfater and Scarface first. I discovered Carlito's Way by accident and now it's one of my all-time favourites.
"Here comes the pain"!!
I agree with you😇
It’s more introspective which I like. It just feels a lot more realistic.
Carlito's Way is very underrated.
Easy story but really deep after watching it 10 times or more, I miss movies like that you can watch it over n over for stuff you missed the first few times
YOOOOOOO I SAW THAT LAST NIGHT
Great movie!
I think Serpico is. I know they talk about it in this clip, but I always hear about Carlito's Way more than Serpico. Both great films.
The Box of Tech he definitely DID THAT in Carlitos way
I so agree with him when he says that the most interesting and best part of Michael Corleone is the “transition”. So clever it gives me chills
One of the best developed characters of all time.

Never has a character been so perfectly suited to an actor as in the Godfather and Al Pacino
Al Pacino is iconic, a living legend
It's a crime he only has one oscar under his belt, one of the greatest actor of all time
That's why Oscars are meaningless
It's art that matters
@Bernadette Thomas but what a role he won it for. At least they gave it to him for a great job done....Leonardo decaprio win was a joke. He should have won for previous roles.
Oscars aren’t everything though. He only has one and he is widely considered to be one of the greatest actors of all time. We all know the true worth of his acting.
The oscars are a joke. I don’t care what they do.
M Bos Decaprio should’ve won it for Wolf Of Wall Street hands down!! I felt that Tom Hardy’s performance in The Revenant was far better 👌🏻
I love how Al says
“Hi I’m Al Pacino if you didn’t notice” it’s something only Al could say without being cocky and it shows how he’s started to kind of enjoy fame or at least find peace in it.

@@meeeka nah deniro would come off as cocky if he did it
@@pinkyboy8576 he seems very much in his own head. not a bad thing though
The strength of this interview is that the interviewer does not compete with Al Pacino for attention. He is allowed to speak, reflect, and not get interrupted, which allows him to share his thoughts and experiences in a way that is revealing without the constant prodding of an outsider. We see and hear Al Pacino, as we might had we sat down to dinner and a drink with him. Something we'll never have the honor and privilege of doing, but this certainly gets us close. This setting and format were the perfect vehicles for an actor of Al Pacino's caliber to just relax and talk and to share things about his career, friendships, roles, good fortune, childhood and acting choices that so many of us wanted to hear. He was as good at this, as he has always been in his acting profession.
How can you not love Al, he seems like such a cool, laid back guy that you can have a good conversation and laugh with.
At 79 he's still giving it his all, a true professional. I love Al Pacino
True professional, rest are just emotional fools!
The man relishes acting. I hope he goes on forever.
Hello winnie the pooh.. Has anyone told you that you look like the Chinese president
He doesn't appear anywhere near 79, looks more like he's in his late 50s or early 60s at most, the man is living the good life.
❤️pooh NOT the great leader on the pic though
Pacino in Godfather 1 and 2 were his finest performances. His eyes did half the talking in those movies. He was great in Donnie Brasco too.
I agree with you!
Yesssss his especially in his first shooting scene. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro my two all time favorite.
I personally would add or tie them with "Dog Day Afternoon" I was shocked with how good his acting was when I saw the movie for the first time.
I agree. Nothing beats his Michael Corleone

What he put himself through for his role in Dog Day Afternoon was incredible
One of the very few down to earth guys , I can just feel it in his voice, God Bless him 🙏
Pacino was a handsome man, his iconic persona and talent are timeless
Was??
"was"
Lol
Yesssssssssssssssssssssss
Was?? Hes still handsome!!!!
@@Lushy260 Ik
Al Pacino has always been humble, kind but never too over the top or preachy which always stood out to me. You can tell he’s a good man by the way he speaks and his clean reputation
Lmao al Pacino is not humble. He knows where he stands. He knows he is a living legend and that he's one of the greatest actors of his generation

@@masonsuarez7096 Yet you’ve never met him. ‘LmAooo’
@@CHlEFFIN you can tell with certain videos he's done
Unlike the vile deNiro
A lifetime to the industry and you give him a measly 18min. Cmon
This deserved a part 2. Al has a lot of iconic roles. And Justice for All, Scent of a Woman, Danny Brasco, etc. Oh, saw you didn't have a lot of time with him. That was still a lot of info he gave you. I was glad films like Panic in Needle Park, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon were talked about.
I always thought al pacino’s voice ended up like that because of all the smoking he did in godfather
But its actually because of all the yelling in his movies
😂😂😂
He's been smoking since he was 9
He has said he was smoking 4 packets of cigs in the 80's and he reduced them to 2 in the 90's, so he wouldn't lose his voice
We don't see acting like this anymore. Extraordinary.
Maybe Tom Hardy, but yeah, you're right.
@d d how about joaquin phoenix? specifically for his amazing performance in the joker. Or leonardo decaprio or Daniel Day Lewis.
Joker was fantastic acting
Not too much, no.
@@FunkayMonkay149 Leo tries too hard. Dude is screaming in every role he plays. Phoenix is good but Scarface is just timeless.
greatest actor of all time, gave justice to every characters he played a very charismatic,humble loving person of all time long live pacino.
You're amazing. Thanks for the prayer 🙏
Best actor ever!!! Never be anyone like him again!!!!❤
I was so fortunate to see Al Pacino act in “God Looked Away,” a play performed at the Pasadena Playhouse in 2016. I was a few rows back and sat next to someone who began loudly eating chips halfway through the show. I politely asked him to stop because it was distracting, and I swear Al Pacino glanced at me for a split second and smiled.
He was incredible in the play.
Eating chips at play??? It's bad enough at a movie....
I need to have more bravery like you. I just sit and silently stew in anger.
Chips...😳 during a play?!
@@fleaflicker1451 Yeah...I couldn't believe it. When the intermission began, he apologized to me immediately and seemed very embarrassed.
@@SkyWayMan90 Im glad he respected you and apologized. And how lucky are you to get tickets!?! What a great experience.
