Happy birthday, Al Pacino

Al Pacino is one of my favourite actors; believe it or not, he's now 72. In my mind, he's always Michael Corleone - particularly the youngest version, in The Godfather. But he's also so many characters, not the least of which is Frank Slade, the protagonist of Scent of a Woman. Here's a wonderful bit of Pacino, as he listens to the weaselly James Rebhorn, and then rises in righteous anger.
