Who is your favorite movie star?

Back again with Larry King Al Pacino shows why he is a real legend and one of the most revered actors in history.

Al Pacino (Alfredo james Pacino - birth name), also known as Sonny, has become a legend, he is considered one of the greatest actors of the film history. Although he was born in the Bronx, New York, he considers himself a real Italian, he says " I am mostly Sicilian, and I have a little of Neapolitan in me".

His dedication, commitment to acting and his screen dominance has made him on of the true movie legends in the world, highly respected among film buffs and aspiring directors and actors.

His mother moved back to his grandparents' house after divorcing his father when Al was still very young, there his favorite activity was to replay some characters he had seen in the movies and their voices. His early interest in school plays made him cope with his boredom at school.

It is hard to believe that such a legend started off as a stand-up comic, and struggled a long period with depression and poverty, he even had to borrow money to pay bus fare to arrive at the auditions and still suffers from chronic insomnia.

He has a vasty number of prestigious movies such as Scarface, one of the most popular movies all over the world, The Godfather, Serpico, Scent of a Woman, Heat, The Devil's Advocate and many others to name.

Believe it or not, he was extremely shy, only after being thrust into the limelight he coped with his shyness, he used to smoke two pack of cigarettes a day, then decided to quit to protect his voice, now he occasionally smokes a herbal cigarette.

Back in 2002 he charged $10 million a picture and says he rather wait for someone to come up to him with a project then to direct his own picture. He doesn't like the fact that he is single, he says it is good to have someone in your life, he says he still hopes to find this person.

He never intended to become such a movie star, all he wanted was to be an actor and he hopes people see him as such.

Nowadays he cannot be bothered with trivial things, he tries to relax and enjoy his time in his beautiful New York home where he has a lot of exquisite tapestries and rugs from all over the world. He says, like Tony Montana would say "the world is yours" you just need perseverance, commitment and believe in yourself when nobody else out there does.
