Al Pacino
ACTOR FILMOGRAPHY (REVIEWED ENTRIES ONLY)
This energetic leading man made a fresh and unambiguous breakthrough in the early 1970s, above all with his role in the two first Godfather films, before going on to play typically criminal characters who are pushed into extreme situations, such as in Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface. Pacino quickly became a fans' and critics' favourite due to his expressiveness and onscreen potency, even though he has rarely stretched his performances to unaccustomed ground. Pacino won his first and only Academy Award in 1993 for his powerful performance of a blind retired army colonel in Scent of a Woman. After the millennium, his work has not been of the same high standard, and he has often resorted to playing a conglomerate of his previous success roles instead of developing new ones from scratch.
