Wide acclaim and recognition came with his breakthrough role as Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, for which he received his first Oscar nomination, and he would reprise the role in the sequels The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III. His portrayal of Corleone is regarded as one of the greatest performances in film history.
Pacino received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor for Serpico (1973), The Godfather Part II, Dog Day Afternoon, and ...And Justice for All, ultimately winning it for playing a blind military veteran in Scent of a Woman.

He has also starred in the thrillers Heat, The Devil's Advocate, Insomnia, and appeared in the comedy-drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
On television, Pacino has acted in several productions for HBO, including the miniseries Angels in America and the Jack Kevorkian biopic You Don't Know Jack, winning a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for each.
He has also had an extensive career on stage. He is a two-time Tony Award winner, in 1969 and 1977, for his performances in Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie? and The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel. A Shakespeare enthusiast, Pacino directed and starred in Looking for Richard, a documentary about the play Richard III, the lead role of which Pacino had earlier portrayed on stage in 1977.
