In a three-year period in the 1970’s, Al Pacino quickly established himself as a versatile actor capable of portraying intense and complex characters with great depth and authenticity. A relatively unknown stage actor at the time, Pacino starred in The Godfather (1972), Serpico (1973), The Godfather, Part II (1974), and Dog Day Afternoon (1975), cementing him as one of the greatest film actors of his generation.  Since then, he has compiled a career spanning six decades, including an Academy Award, 2 Tony Awards, an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, and has become a cultural icon and Hollywood legend.  We will look at clips from his vast career and memorable moments from films like Scarface (1983), Scent of a Woman (1992), Donnie Brosco (1997), The Irishman (2019), and countless other films in his storied career. Pacino's influence on popular culture can be seen in the many references and homages to his work in films, TV shows, and music. His iconic role as Tony Montana in "Scarface," for example, has become a cultural touchstone, and his performance in "The Godfather" is widely regarded as one of the greatest in cinematic history.
