One of the greatest actors to ever grace the silver screen has got to be Al Pacino. He's been in so many defining movies in Hollywood history, including the "Godfather" series. I don't know if it's personal bias, but he really puts his character into life every time he appears on screen. Who could forget Tony Montana? The big, bad thug he portrayed in the movie, "Scarface."

He also gave life to Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, a disabled former military officer in the movie "Scent of a Woman." His effort in the said film gave him an
Academy Award for best lead actor.
His rise to stardom is attributed to his role as Michael Corleone in the Cappola
masterpeice "The Godfather" in 1972. Numerous established stars wanted that role, including Robert De Niro and
Robert Redford but Cappola selected the then-unknown Pacino to portray the character. Since then, Pacino has been recognized as one of the best actors in his generation. He was nominated quite a few times but it was not until 1992 that he won his first Oscar Award for best actor in "Scent of a Woman." That same year, Pacino was also nominated for his supporting role as Glengarry Glen Ross, making him the 1st male actor to be nominated for an acting award in two separate films in the same year.
