Despite a difficult childhood in an impoverished neighborhood, he pursued his dream of becoming an actor and was almost instantly recognized as a natural.

Coppola fought tooth and nail to get Pacino in the role of Michael Corleone; competitors for the role included Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, and Dustin Hoffman.
