An hour about the film adaptation of "The Merchant of Venice"
Keywords:
An hour conversation with actors Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons and director Michael Radford about their film adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice".
Al Pacino
Alfredo James "Al" Pacino is an Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Tony Award-winning American stage and film actor. He is probably best known for his roles as Michael Corleone in "The Godfather" trilogy and as Tony Montana in the 1983 film "Scarface". He is regarded by many as the best film actor of his generation.
In 1966, Pacino studied under legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg. By the end of the decade, he had won an Obie award for stage work in "The Indian Wants the Bronx" and a Tony award for Best Supporting Actor in the Broadway play "Does the Tiger Wear a Necktie?". He made his first screen appearance in an episode of the television series "N.Y.P.D." in 1968. His largely unnoticed movie debut came the following year in "Me, Natalie". Pacino's rise to fame came after portraying Michael Corleone in Coppola's blockbuster 1972 Mafia film "The Godfather" and Frank Serpico in the eponymous 1973 movie. In 1974, Pacino reprised his role as Michael Corleone in the very successful sequel "The Godfather Part II", which was acclaimed as being comparable to the original. In 1975, he enjoyed further success with the release of "Dog Day Afternoon".
1983's "Scarface", directed by Brian DePalma, proved to be a career highlight and a defining role. His notable films in the 90s include "Dick Tracy", "The Godfather Part III", "Scent of a Woman", "Glengarry Glen Ross", "Carlito's Way", "Donnie Brasco", "The Insider", "Heat", "The Devil's Advocate", and the HBO miniseries "Angels in America". In 2002, he starred in "Insomnia". On October 20, 2006, the American Film Institute named Pacino the recipient of the 35th AFI Life Achievement Award.
