Al Pacino – 81

When talking about the actor’s role as Michael Corleone in the 1972 American crime film The Godfather, ‘iconic’ may seem like an understatement, as it spawned a franchise that would be loved for generations. Born as Alfredo James Pacino, but popularly known as simply Al Pacino, he is one of only a few actors to ever receive an Emmy Award, Academy Award, and a Tony Award, collectively known as the Triple Crown of Acting.

Compared to modern standards, the actor had a late start in the industry, debuting at the age of 29 in the 1969 comedy-drama film, Me, Natalie. Now, the actor is known for his portrayal of often crime-leaning characters, such as Michael Corleone in The Godfather franchise, Tony Montana in Scarface, and recently as Jimmy Hoffa in The Irishman. Now, the actor is celebrated not only in Hollywood, but across global cinema.
