Whatever Wednesday - Sonny Boy

Sonny Boy by Al  Pacino.  Wow

What an  iconic actor on  stage and screen. 

Michael  Corleone

Serpico

I don't need to say much more.  What a life!  He grew up with a mentally unwell  mother, really just wild in the South Bronx.  Crazy friends, but he had a lot of  promise  and a teacher that recognized it.  He entered the New York High School of Performing Arts and never looked back.  Stage, screen, rich,  poor,  drugs and alcohol, bankrupt, success.  So much of life that would worry us - he shrugged as only Al Pacino would, and then  worked to make his life work.  He embodies art and art is in his blood and  soul.

A unique individual who has given it his all.  I can't begin to list all the credits.  Read the book and you'll hear that distinctive voice in your head. 

It's Al F@*king  Pacino!!!!!!!
