For him to retire, if he decides to, will leave a gap in the movie making industry that will never be filled again by such a great and humble actor. I, for one, hope that he finds the canvas as he has done so many times in years past to bring countless of millions of his fans and movie viewers many more Oscar worthy performances.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"polls-145\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_145\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_145_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"56804a2238\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"145\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Which of these Al Pacino Movies is your Favorite?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-145-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-393\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"393\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-393\">The Godfather<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-394\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"394\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-394\">Godfather II<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-395\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"395\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-395\">And Justice For All<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-396\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"396\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-396\">Scarface<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-397\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"397\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-397\">Scent of a Woman<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-398\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"398\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-398\">Carlito's Way<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-399\" name=\"poll_145\" value=\"399\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-399\">Heat<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(145);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(145); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-145-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\" http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/RingsideReport1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\" http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/twitter-ad-link.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By \u201cBad\u201d Brad Berkwitt Oscar winner and living legend, actor Al Pacino is in Venice today where his latest directorial effort SALOME will be shown at the Venice Film Festival.
