Pacino - I Learned More About Acting From John Than Anybody

I love how Pacino wanted to make sure they were still rolling to give John his credit. Great man.

John Cazale, he died so young. He was 42. And yet, ALL of his movies either won the best picture Oscar or were nominated. The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Partt II, Dog Day Afternoon and The Deer Hunter. His filmography are all masterpieces.

Somebody buy this interviewer a beer for being a remarkable listener, and show this to all other interviewers so they can learn how to ask well thought out questions that turn an interview into a conversation. Pure gold!

If Pacino says John Cazale was the shit....then, ....you better believe it.   This man knows his craft.

What an amazing guy. I saw him once on a New York City Street, East 49th. We walked past each other looking at each other and I didn't know who it was at first. A few steps on I stopped and turned around and he was looking at me we both smiled, waved, then he walked into the building and I said wow that was Al Pacino. I'm still thrilled

AP is such a gracious and honest human being; always giving credit where credit is due. A true class act.

Cazale was like the Jimi Hendrix of actors, he accomplished so much in so little amount of time and obviously the respect from great actors that he worked with.John elevated the players around him as well. Very under rated...Pacino is a class act and cool as hell .... interviewers should be more like this guy....let the subject speak....

Cazale should definitely have been nominated for Godfather 2 and Dog Day Afternoon.

Pacino's best moments on film were with John Cazale...clearly you see that he feels the same way.

This is a great interview. The interviewer actually listened and didn't interrupt. Pacino is so humbly great. John was special.

Every scene that John Cazale did in the "Godfather" films made those films (and the Corleone family) so much more REAL .... BECAUSE Fredo was weak, BECAUSE he was a screw-up, and Cazale brought that out so perfectly.

They filmed Dog Day Afternoon in my neighborhood. Every day after school I would go watch them filming. One day Al said hello to me & I was so star struck, I think I just smiled back. I'm in that crowd somewhere...

"I'm your older brother, and I was stepped over!"

"you never knew when acting started with John" ..that's probably the best compliment to give an Actor! cuz if you can't tell "Reality from Fiction" then they've SUCCEDED!

Cazale is probably the best supporting actor in film history. He also happened to work with the best directors and actors and was in films that all won Oscars. The Conversation is probably his most under-rated film to most that focus on GF or Dog Day. John didn't have the leading man looks but was one of the best actors of his generation. Great actors like Al Pacino knew this, of course, so did his girlfriend, Meryl Streep. When Casale was dying of lung cancer, Deniro insisted he be in The Deer Hunter which was Casale's last film.

17:26 Even i teared up a lil when Al got emotional sharing how he "Used to dream about John"...😟

John Cazale starred in so many great movies. The Godfather, The Godfather II, The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon and The Conversation. He died too soon, but what a legacy he left in cinema.

Watching this interview, I'm reminded how John Cazale often played losers. So did Robert Deniro with Travis Bickle, Rupert Pupkin. John's roles in The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon, Deer Hunter and of course GF II reminds me that the loser role is somehow often more interesting than the winner role.

love the heart of Pacino

What an honest and genuine person PACINO is...No wonder he has given such honest performances. Acting from the soul...
