Al Pacino is an American screen and stage actor. His film debut was in 1969 with the comedy drama film Me, Natalie. He had his first lead role in the 1971 drama film The Panic in Needle Park. The following year, he played Michael Corleone in the crime film The Godfather, a role he reprised in the sequels The Godfather Part II (1974) and The Godfather Part III (1990). For his performance in the 1973 film Serpico, in which he played Frank Serpico, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. In 1983, he starred as Tony Montana in the crime drama film Scarface, which is considered one of the greatest gangster films, and is considered a cult classic.

In the 1990s, Pacino starred in numerous films, including Frankie and Johnny with Michelle Pfeiffer (1991), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992; as Richard Roma), Scent of a Woman with Chris O'Donnell (1992), Carlito's Way with Sean Penn (1993), Heat with Robert De Niro (1995), Donnie Brasco with Johnny Depp (1997), The Devil's Advocate with Keanu Reeves (1997), and Any Given Sunday with Cameron Diaz (1999). For his performance in Scent of a Woman, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor and his second Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.

Since the early 2000s, he has co-starred in films such as Insomnia opposite Robin Williams (2002), Simone with Catherine Keener (2002), and the thriller film 88 Minutes (2007). In 2007, he was cast as Willie Bank in the heist comedy film Ocean's Thirteen, the third installment in the Ocean's franchise, and the final film in the Ocean's Trilogy. The following year, he appeared in the action thriller film Righteous Kill, again with De Niro. In 2019, he had a minor role in Quentin Tarantino's comedy drama film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and he portrayed Jimmy Hoffa in The Irishman, the fourth film on which he and De Niro worked together. In 2021, he portrayed Aldo Gucci in the biographical crime drama film House of Gucci directed by Ridley Scott.

Pacino's television work includes the 2003 HBO miniseries Angels in America, in which he played American lawyer and prosecutor Roy Cohn, and the 2010 made-for-television biopic You Don't Know Jack, in which he played American pathologist and euthanasia proponent Dr. Jack Kevorkian. For both roles, he received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film, making it his third and fourth Golden Globe Award. He also co-starred in the conspiracy drama streaming television series Hunters (2020–2023).
