This Brando (below) has been examined and approved by JSA and I think it's good.  The one in your OP looks to be in it's style but doesn't quite hit the mark, imho.

I don't know Pacino well enough to comment on his signature.

Appreciate the reply. I agree that the Brando's not right. The 'n' in Marlon is way off and there's plenty of other areas that don't look correct. The Pacino is a good forgery, if that's what it is.

Eddy, the Brando you posted doesn't look real to me.

I was wrong about the one I put up being approved by JSA.  According to this vendor, it's actually been passed by PSA:

Whether this PSA approved one is real or not, I see some similarities with the OP.  But the OP doesn't look nearly as convincing to me as the PSA one.

They’re a dropshipper. It’s still expensive, but this exact item is on eBay at a slightly lower price.

Neither look good to me.

I think this might be the Pacino example the forger tried to copy (previously sold via RR). Looking more closely now, the end of the 'l' and 'o' at the conclusion of each name comes to a rather abrupt halt and it's got a somewhat slowly drawn look to it.

Wow...you've gotta be spot on! The abrupt stops and the same pen pressure throughout were clear signs it was likely not real to me. I think it was likely machine signed in some way.

Whilst I'm here, what are your thoughts on this Pacino signed Scarface poster Steve?

I haven't studied his autographs of the last 10 years that well so don't rely on me, but I think it has a good chance of being real. And a nice example.

I misread your question and thought you asked only about the Pacino. I'd have to research the others one by one, but they look naturally signed, not by 1-2 hands.
