Al Pacino | Tony Montana (Scarface)

At this point, almost anyone can recognize Al Pacino, one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars. Even so, his beginnings were anything but easy. During his childhood, Al was considered quite a troublemaker, but that never topped his degree of love for acting. This passion led him to take acting classes in the HB Studio before making his way into the Actors Studio. Since then, he has starred in numerous notable films, including the Godfather trilogy, Scent of a Woman, and of course, Scarface.

Now known as one of the most famous movie characters of all time, Scarface’s protagonist Tony Montana was one Al was very eager to portray. In fact, he even trained with knife combat experts and the boxer Roberto Durán in preparation for the role. Safe to say all that hard work surely paid off in the end. To this day, Al’s uttering of the line “Say hello to my little friend!” remains just as iconic as it was during its release.
