Al Pacino on Late Show, August 21, 2002

[@waynedurning8717]

Easily the greatest actor of his generation and what a likable guy.

[@khalilprince4527]

Who's the greatest actor now?!

[@waynedurning8717]

@@khalilprince4527 not sure. I would say Phillip Seymour Hoffman was next after Pacino but of course he’s gone. They both continued to work in movies and the theater, they both had great range, they both took the craft seriously and stretched themselves. No one else really stands out at the moment though there are good movie actors out there. Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix, Gary Oldman, Denzel. Probably a couple I can’t think of. Who do you think?

[@khalilprince4527]

@@waynedurning8717 Seymour is not great...if he was he shouldn't overdosed to death I think the best right now Denzel probably or maybe tom cruise or Keanu Reeves but no one will ever be like al Pacino....because he learns from his movies and he looks like he can tell the difference between what's right and what's wrong and that's makes him real👍

[@waynedurning8717]

@@khalilprince4527 you’re judging him on his personal life not his acting. That’s up to you if you want to do that but the fact remains he was a phenomenal actor. And you’re right about Denzel.

[@khalilprince4527]

@@waynedurning8717 brother the point of acting is to make the world at least slightly better 😉 That's why I respect Al so much...you see most of these actors nowadays are fake...they play heroes and good characters good influencers you know...but in real life they're just crackheads and that's hypocricy... If u think you're a criminal and a gangster just be a drag dealer and end up in prison or something because acting belongs to good educated people since the beginning 👍

[@shaileshkulkarni6525]

Al is a child in his heart. All the time. It's a miracle that he has his innocence intact after all these years. He's embarrassed by the attention, the interest shown by people in him, praise and adulation. That shows his commitment to the craft, not to the fame. He wants to wriggle out of spotlight. That's Al Pacino for us. He's a gift to the mankind.
