Al Pacino just received his first Oscar nomination in 27 years for playing Jimmy Hoffa, and getting de-aged, in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman.
Pacino has appeared in 12 Broadway shows, won two Tony awards and received nine Oscar nominations (including Best Supporting Actor in The Irishman).
It was only three years later that Pacino landed the monumental role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather.
Of his Broadway debut, Pacino said, “”It was a whirlwind-experience, it led directly to my first film, Panic in Needle Park, The Godfather, and then, Serpico.”
Audiences flocked to the Longacre Theatre to see the film actor, who at that point had been nominated for four Oscars.
