Pacino’s theatrical exuberance has garnered him critical acclaim for movies like The Godfather Trilogy, Scarface and Scent of a Woman, and his Italian zest injects even more drama and excitement into his bolstering performances. Whether it’s sadness, anger, tension or despair, Pacino’s roar ensures that every scene is filled with vivacity and commotion. He may be the little guy, or even just the supporting act, but his comical, condescending insults make everyone his bitch. There’s no doubt about it — Pacino’s roar makes him a boss.
