Sean Penn

Yeah, that's a classic scene.
I've always wondered though, what kind of accent is Pacino doing here.
He has a peculiar way of talking here. Is it regional?

Brooklyn accent. Italian thing. Lets not forget his name in the movie "Ricky Roma"

 

[nondescriptive]

Daniel Day Lewis for sure.

Ray Liotta was pretty intense in "Narc"

Al Pacino used to be a decent actor before Scent of a Woman, ever since I find his acting to be waaaaay over the top hokey.

Al Pacino
Daniel Day Lewis
Samuel l Jackson (but I'm tired of him)
Ed Harris ...can be
Russel Crowe

Daniel Day, he's ok. There's always mileage in political roll. Especially in the US.

Russel Crowe, great actor. What movie did he play in with Al Pacino. A very under rated movie.

 

[HOF]

Robert DeNiro
Liam Neesan
Christian Bale

 

[theycallmebruce]

Adam Sandler " the price is wrong...bitch !! "

 

[Titalian]

Robert DeNiro
Liam Neesan
Christian Bale

Christian Bale?? You have to be kidding me. Did I not say INTENSE actors?

 

[Twister]

Russel Crowe, great actor. What movie did he play in with Al Pacino. A very under rated movie.

The insider...Crowe was great also in ...a beautiful mind.

Robert DeNiro
Liam Neesan
Christian Bale

Sorry ...De Niro was great, he's doing all kinds of crappy movies. Not what he use to be. Tired of him too....washed out. Same with Nicholas Cage washed out...same expressions...eyes wide open etc...

Put a good comedy actor in a non comedic role and you can have an intense performance.. I am thinking of Jim Carrey in The Number 23 or Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. With the right actor that extra edge of energy a good comedic actor has can be channeled really well to bring intensity to a movie.

 

[wetnose]

Hugo Weaving
Bryan Cranston
Aaron Paul
Benedict Cumberbatch
Hugh Jackman
Michael Fassbender
Chiwetel Ejiofor

Somehow I can never take Leonardo seriously - too boyish.

Sorry ...De Niro was great, he's doing all kinds of crappy movies. Not what he use to be. Tired of him too....washed out. Same with Nicholas Cage washed out...same expressions...eyes wide open etc...

Lets not forget, Righteous Kill. DeNiro and Pacino... Great movie with these two legends.
