Were you born yesterday?
The man does Serpico, And Justice for All, Godfather 1 and 2, and Dog Day Afternoon and you ask this question?! Scarface is the bomb, but it isn't even Pacino's best work.

Alfredo Pacino was born in the Manhattan borough of New York City to Italian-American parents Salvatore Pacino and Rose Gerard (the daughter of an Italian-born father and a New York-born mother of Italian descent). His parents divorced when Pacino was two years old. After the divorce, Al and his mother moved to The Bronx, New York to live with his grandparents, who originated from Sicily.[3] His father Salvatore moved to Covina, California, working as an insurance salesman and owner of his own restaurant called Pacino's Lounge.
Pacino attended Manhattan's School of Performing Arts.
Tough times forced the closure of Pacino's in the early 1990s, and is now called Citrus Grill. Salvatore Pacino died on January 1, 2005 at the age of 82.

he defiantly would have been, the thing with Al Pacino is he was really famous years ago and younger people probably don't know much about him.
some of his classics that he is best known for are....dog day afternoon.... the god father....the god father saga and god father 2...the devils advocate....serpico....
Even though a lot of his other movies weren't well know by everyone the ones Ive listed were really popular and gave him his name.

I know some aren't gonna like this but I think he tends to eat the scenery. I did like the Godfather 1 and 2.

actually yes, most likely, since his work in The Godfather was so highly admired it got him his role in Scarface. Hope that helps! (:

Yes indeed. He is a great actor. And every movie he's in, he gives all he has.
