I think DeNiro has many interests outside of acting, including painting and the restaurant business. Over the past decade or so he has become increasingly lazy in his efforts, and sketchy in his choice of roles. That he did sequels to two comedies recently is a sign of this. I get the sence that this once great talent is mailing it in sometimes. Pacino on the other hand just keeps getting better, and is constantly expanding his horizons...he took a huge risk playing Shylock in the screen adaptation of Merchant of Venice, and I thought he nailed the character perfectly. I hear that he is often working in the Actors Studio in NY and that he is trying to raise money for a production of Oedipus.

To me Pacino is the more consumate pro.

No question both are great, but Ive got to go for Al.
