I don’t like Pacino’s politics or the way he has apparently lived his personal life; but he was fabulous in one of my favorite movies, ‘Scent of a Woman’.
Great actors should just shut up and act.
Nick,
what would be left of Al Pacino’s acting, if he just shut up?
bemused
In that same spirit, someone mused "I also don't want a Senator acting out 'Hamlet' while in the well."
Missed it when it was released 25 years ago. I think we were busy having babies.
Just watched him again in “Glengarry, Glen Ross” the way he tears down Kevin Spacey’s character is an all-time classic.
Also great in another of my favorite movies, The Devil’s Advocate.
“Great actors should just shut up and act.”
AMEN! And great singers should just shut up and sing.
Once they start yammering about politics their love of totalitarianism and their hatred of conservatives, you can never watch or hear then the same way again.
Except for Jane Fonda. She’s ALWAYS been an anti-American creep. But, I do confess I enjoyed her and her Dad in “On Golden Pond.”
