Rounding out the staunch fanboy trifecta 'round these parts. I've always respected Pacino's performances but I never had the sheer passion and adulation for the man during his "prime." It wasn't until his HBO work that I truly fell for what the man was capable of, and I think he's very much the type of actor whose career reinvention didn't just revitalize himself, but managed to key into what I like and in doing so retroactively made me appreciate his work. I do think Pacino suffers a bit from having to contend with some truly all-time lineups in the 1970s (I'm certain that people view me rating him at #4 in 1974 is blasphemy.), and it pains me that I can't give him the win over Nicholson in '75, but them's the breaks.
