Al Pacino
FILMOGRAPHY (REVIEWED ENTRIES ONLY)
This energetic leading man made a fresh and unambiguous breakthrough in the early 1970s, most notably with his role in the first two Godfather films, before going on to portray typically criminal characters who are pushed into extreme situations, such as in Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface. Pacino quickly became a fan and critic favourite due to his expressiveness and on-screen potency. He won his first and only Academy Award in 1993 for his powerful portrayal of a blind, retired army colonel in Scent of a Woman. Still, his arguably two best performances came in supporting roles: as Ricky Roma in James Foley's Glengarry Glen Ross and as Lefty Ruggiero in Mike Newell's mobster portrait Donnie Brasco. After the turn of the millennium, his work has not maintained the same high standard, with many of his later roles resembling a conglomerate of his past successes rather than fresh, fully developed characters.
