Had the pleasure of meeting Al back in 2007 in Beverly Hills. I can confirm he’s just as a gentleman in person as he is in this interview. Truly, one of the most down to earth celebs I ever met, and he’s even a bit shy in person I must admit. Continued blessings for Pacino. What a legend!
I met him in NYC (23rd st) in the mid '90's-he was scouting for a film (which never came to fruition) and he "allowed" me to tell him about a script I was working on. Over the years I've met and even worked with a bunch of celebrities but meeting and talking with Pacino was a very special experience. I can say, "I've spoken to "torched" a God.
🙋🏻♂️A few weeks ago I just finished working with the talented actor Al Pacino as an extra on a film titled: Lear Rex I was just inches away from him working for 5 days and he was such a legend to work with. During a taped rehearsal I accidentally sneezed🤧as he was saying one of his lines and he said “bless you!“ and he went right back to saying the rest of his monologue in character. He also still has super STRONG vocal cords he can project very well and recite some superb Shakespeare. It was an honor working alongside him.🙏🎞️🎬🎥

@@thischannelisdeletedI disagree. It lived up to the hype indeed! Signing off, a 51-year-old who never saw movies on opening day that often back in the day (who felt like they got their money's worth in the DC movie theater near American University)
You can't like movies and not like Al Pacino🙌 Protect him at all COSTS!! This man is everything and his resume speaks for itself!! Thank God for Al Pacino♥️
If only, my father In heaven could have seen this interview😢 But😊 then again maybe he just did with me, my father was a huge huge Al😊 Pacino fan❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 15 when I first saw The Godfather on screen in a beautiful, old theater in my town in Westchester. I looked up and there was Al and I fell head over heels in love. I waited until the credits to see his name, who was this gorgeous man playing Michael? I will never forget that day.
I like the fact that he was going to do acting, no matter what. He just loves it he loves the craft he loves doing it. This is what I always hear from people, that if you want to be a successful actor, this is how you have to feel. You have to feel like you cannot do anything else, whether or not you get famous or have a ton of money. And I think that's wonderful.
Mankowitz is the best celebrity interviewer bar none. He lets the actor actually finish a thought without interrupting or pandering to their celebrity. His interviews are truly a masterclass,. He has to be the equivalent of Charlie Rose- someone who is engaged with the interviewee, one feels that one is actually sitting at the table privy to an amazing story)s).
Sonny, I'm getting bad vibes... Maybe we should take something smaller... Are you crazy? Stevie, whaddya tawkin about, it started already... Sal's got the gun owt! Stevie, don't take the car... Well how will I get home? Take the subway, we need the car! Classic 😂
I give Al all the credit in the world for creating memorable characters. Godfather , Scarface , serpico, heat , devil’s advocate, and my personal favorite Carlitos way. He’s the perfect blend of rawness and controlled aggression on screen. If there’s a Mount Rushmore of actors he’s one of them.
I don't know, it's a pretty good deal when you consider the alternative.

It is depressing!! However!! Life doesn’t care!! And like William Wallace said “”” Every man dies but not every lives “”” So while we’re all still here make sure doing more than just breathing or waiting to die!!!!
I Remember growing up in Massachusetts in the Italian neighborhood All videos stores like blockbuster and mom and pop video were always out of Al Pacino movies and Robert De Niro movies Italians worship Al and Robert
@@roncarroll4136 Nonantum is the major Italian portion of Newton. That village is referred to as 'the Lake.' They'd put little enamel Italian flags on their cars. They had their own slang too; "mush" was the giveaway.
One of the best things he did was that, I think, HBO show where he played Phil Specter. I can't remember what it was called. He's an actor who can't give a bad performance, IMHO!
Al always does something interesting with even the worst material (except Mamet's China Doll. Nobody could rescue that one). Mom once went on a date with Serpico screenwriter Haskell Wexler in Sausalito (called up her mother to pick her up lol) and saw Al on Broadway in the late 70s in Pavlo Hummel during his hefty alcoholic period ("That Al Pacino, he a mess, child!" she recalled black girls saying as they left the theater). Too bad he couldn't help Coppola with Megalopolis (couldn't get that one through TSA at the airport, what a disaster). You did Strasberg proud, Al. Monumental career. Look forward to your book 🎉🎉❤❤
Strasberg had him(and many others) doing emotional recall. An extremely dangerous thing to do for actors. Stanislavski saw the harm in it and moved away from it as a technique. Maybe he would have had less problems with alcohol if Stella Adler had taught him to focus on imagination like Brando.
I watched The Godfather this year for the first time ever and I'm in my 30's. Had no clue that the movie was made before I was even born. Even Scarface as well, Al was already 40 in Scarface, that's crazy.

Can't believe Pacino is an old man. Seems like no time ago at all I was watching the newly released The Godfather in a theater.
Thats 50 years ago. Half a century😂z
I was 10 when it came out
@@robmlisantiI was born 32 years after The Godfather
You're clearly an old man too. Respect and more life to you
Time really does fly fast
Whether "Panic in Needle Park" or "Scarface" or "Heat" or whatever. He is DEFINITELY one of the greatest to ever do it! 🎬🎭🐐💯
Absolutely!
Couldn’t agree more he’s timeless
Especially clips from where Al Pacino was born and raised: New York City
💯
"Heat" was an incredible hit in 1995 Pacino starred along with Robert De Niro.
Ordered the book HEAT 2. if you ever wondered what became of the character "Chris Shiherlis" . Enjoyed it a lot.

You meant "The Godfather"?
I heard about the horse head. As a horse lover, I couldn't watch the movie.

One of the greatest actors of my generation...
Would be the best actor of all time, if not for Robert De Niro
Great interview. Pacino is one of the greats of his era. Ben Mankiewicz is the perfect one to interview him. Can’t wait to read the book!
we love Ben
Ben Mankiewicz is a liberal tool.

Al Pacino Is The Best 💯 Period
One of the greatest actors of all time. 👍
THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fell in love with him in Carlito’s Way! ❤️
Yes! Amazing film! Sean Penn and Penelope Ann Miller rocked that one, too. 👍

Awesome that he's still so sharp at 84
One of my favorite actors. Love all of his movies. God father 1& 2 are my all time favorites, watch a lot. My Uncle is called sonny boy how funny lol
He looks great and aging gracefully but he was incredibly handsome back in the day.😍😍😍
DEFINITELY!!!!💘
One of the most handsome actors. He is still so charismatic, bless Al 🤍!
Al Pacino forever. Such great roles. He will always be a part of cinematic history. I would love to drink a beer with Al Pacino...🍺🍺
The greatest actor of all time.
Honoured to have him in our lifetime
Incredibly talented actor. I'm glad he keeps entertaining us.
Absolutely one of the best actors of all time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Whaaaat?! Can't be that old!
Just listened to an interview with Al Pacino. I was pleasantly surprised to find how charming and modest he is. Watched the whole hour.
God bless him. Still my number one, now and forever!
A giant among legends an integeral part of the cinema and stage and dramatic arts
You are heaven sent Al PACINO
We love you so much Al! One of the greatest actors ever! You, Robert Deniro, and the late, Marlon Brando, are true legends! 💛💛💛
I`ll take Brando & Gene Hackman (Popeye Doyle).

Michael Corleone; Sonny in Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico! My all time favorites.
Al's perfect trifecta!
Let's not forget Arthur Kirkland and Vincent Hanna (great roles as well) :)
Sonny, I'm getting bad vibes...
Maybe we should take something smaller...
Are you crazy?
Stevie, whaddya tawkin about, it started already...
Sal's got the gun owt!
Stevie, don't take the car...
Well how will I get home?
Take the subway, we need the car!
Classic 😂
He has a couple of under appreciated movies like “Sea of Love” and “Carlito’s Way”. He’s a fabulous actor and very humble.
Scarecrow very underrated - Al perfect and heartbreaking
Al Pacino thx for everything you’ve done. A freaking living legend, yall better give Al and Bobby their flowers while they’re still here

Bless his heart I'm glad he is still a live after covid
His movie "And Justice for All" is amazing and his acting is just PERFECT. Its a crime that movie is not famous as some of his other works.
Al Pacino is very special and talented

Ohhhhh I had a feeling and after watching a couple of old videos, this came up.
Fresh Al, I love you to bits.
Al and Jack and Denzel are in a league of their own.Client and Morgan also
Incomparable! A joy to watch him in movies, interviews, anything.
I have always loved his work. Amazing talent.
A real class act , this guy
Yes
One of the best things he did was that, I think, HBO show where he played Phil Specter. I can't remember what it was called. He's an actor who can't give a bad performance, IMHO!
You can IMDB it. It's literally called "Phil Spector."
He was so young in these movies
The icon & legend Al Pacino terrific interview

Respect for Al
G. O. A. T. Still the best actor of all time without a doubt.
He dropped the gun, just watching the scene. 50+ years later.
And people call him method, lolol.
He is in the top 5, of all time, without question.
Top 2 him and Deniro
Had a wonderful date in NYC, we walked by Al Pacino speaking to a lady he was walking with! 1986, we glanced smiled and kept going! It was magic
Brando, Pacino, Nicholson, Hopkins, De Niro, Day Lewis, Oldman, Denzel, Bale, Di Caprio.
Dennis Hopper
