His first film appearance came two years later in the indie Me, Natalie, before he locked down a starring role in Jerry Schatzberg’s The Panic in Needle Park. That’s were Francis Ford Coppola noticed the actor and, well…the rest is history. From The Godfather trilogy to Scarface, Jack and Jill, and beyond, Pacino will forever be one of Hollywood’s greats.
