He found acting to be enjoyable and realized he had a gift for it.

He made his first screen appearance in an episode of the television series N.Y.P.D. in 1968, and his largely unnoticed movie debut in Me, Natalie came the following year.

Pacino remarked on his hiatus from film: "I remember back when everything was happening, '74, '75, doing The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui on stage and reading that the reason I'd gone back to the stage was that my movie career was waning! That's been the kind of ethos, the way in which theater's perceived, unfortunately."[4] Pacino returned to films in 1989's Sea of Love. Image File history File links Scarface_Ae1q2. ...

Pacino recently turned down an offer to reprise his role as Michael Corleone in The Godfather: The Game, ostensibly because his voice had changed dramatically since playing Michael in the first two Godfather films. As a result, Electronic Arts was not permitted to use Pacino's likeness or voice in the game, although his character does appear in it. It is rumored Pacino actually declined the role due to a conflict with Electronic Arts' rival, Vivendi Universal, which launched a competing game adaptation of the 1983 remake of Scarface, titled Scarface: The World is Yours. However, Pacino did not voice his character in this game for the same given reason. But Pacino did allow his likeness to be used for the game and even suggested the person who voices Tony Montana in the game. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
