Al Pacino and the "squignature"

For your amusement, I'd like to share with you all my al Pacino signature, or as I call it squiganture because it's half signature half squiggle.

He did a red carpet here in Dublin a number of years ago. He walked past me on the way in to the cinema. But luckily he signed again on his way out, taking .5 seconds with everyone and signing my original Godfather still.

This autograph may be laughably rushed but I love it. Hope you guys do too :)

I should add that the worst "squignature" I ever got was Leonardo De Caprio - it was just the letter 'L'. I promptly gave it away to a big fan....

This is a little off-topic, but where would you rate Pacino's performance as Tony Montana versus other roles his has played? And how would you rate "Scarface" (1983)? Personally, I thought Pacino did an amazing job as Tony Montana. And "Scarface" is one of my 7 favorite films of all-time. The others being Braveheart, Star Wars (A New Hope), The Wizard of Oz, Oliver Stone's "JFK", An American in Paris, and Rocky I.

Love Scarface James, apparently it wasn't a hit at the time, but it's such a cult favourite now. Pacino is having a lot of fun and really let's go, it's perfect for the role.
