Al Pacino was arrested in 1961 for carrying a concealed weapon. What does this say about Al Pacino? Was he a gangster? Was he a gangster before he became an actor?

This means he can't be respected anymore then any other person that has ever been arrested. -Pat

Well , that´s happend 42 years ago, a long time ago, when he was 21 years, so i don´t think this is relevant for his career like an actor, because he wasn´t famous in that time. plus, he is a great actor but human and have mistakes like all.

I agree with Angie. Whats the point of bringing up an issue that happened so many years ago?

Here he is..

It doesn't matter how old he is. He's a criminal. All these rappers and gangstas you guys criticize for being arrested are usually in their teens or early 20's. -Pat

When I talk about the rappers. I usually am referring to drug dealing, murder, etc. Getting caught wit ha unregistered weapon? Nothing BIG. He wasn't dealing drugs or killing.

Your saying hes a criminal cuz he had a weapon on him? so your sayin police and the military are criminals too? hes not a criminal hes a very rich and brilliant actor. and anyways that happened like 40 years ago.

"Police officers noticed a suspicious car and decided to stop it. Inside were Pacino and two other men - all wearing black masks and gloves. On further inspection, the trunk of the car contained a loaded .38 caliber pistol."

Hmm, maybe that's why he plays Scarface so well.

Oh well, at least he probably ceases from illegal activity unlike PDiddy these days. I don't know a lot about these rappers situations but isn't P Diddy the one who is suspected for killing Biggie?

No. Tupac.

So the man got arrested a long time ago...no big deal, ya'll just chill out...its ancient history

I explained myself.

Whether it was 1 year ago or 20 years ago, the guy was still arrested. -Pat

Big deal-oh my goodness~this is a discussion that is leading into a boring argument so just let me play peacemaker and shut up about it. Thank you.

Argument? What're you talking about? -Pat

PATRICK!!!! You remind me of my older brother-always have to get in the last word.

Alright.

What's the dilemma here, ah? I just wanted to know more about my favorite actor & one of the most brilliant and successful actors on earth.

i looked this story up and im pretty sure he had a weapon because he was going to do a stage play thats why he had it on him but im not sure

First, Wrong Place To Put THis.

Second, Why Do I Give A Shit If He Carried A Gun. Ever Been In New York? It can be a scary place. If He Is Giving Me A Reason To Watch Movies, What He Does Doesn't Matter.

So he can carry a gun in NY but a gangsta can't carry a gun in the projects? -Pat

They shouldnt be gangsters in the first place Patsy....

Gotta do what ya gotta do. -Pat

So you subscribe to the theory Tupac is still alive

No. He's dead.

So how would Tupac be a suspect for Biggie's killing if Tupac was already dead?

BTW sorry this has gone off-topic.

If you think tupac is still alive, you personally need to get your head checked. No one suspects Tupac of killing Biggie. For one thing, Biggie was killed 7 months AFTER Tupac. Suge Knight may be a suspect in Biggie's killing, yes. Tupac? No. -Pat

Patrick makes a point with what he said earlier in the thread, but the fact is he did this over 40 years ago, and is no longer associated with crime, unlike the rappers he mentions who are still or were recently associated with it.

Thug

Personally I dont care if Al Pacino,Ghetto-Gangsta-Thuggish-Rap-Moron, Travis Bickle or anyone else carries a gun. Good for them. They can carry all the guns they want, as long as they dont shoot me, I'm good

Are you serious?

Oh okay, sorry I was reading your answer the wrong way, when you replied too

then you said

I was reading it as Tupac was the one suspected of killing Biggie, when you replied No. Tupac but I now understand you meant P Diddy is a suspect for killing Tupac.

I dont appreciate the comment about my beliefs needing me to have a head check but I guess you have checked the facts out too & made a decision. There is a lot of unanswered questions which do put serious doubt in people's minds.

holy crap r u guys stupid. shutup about people who carry guns are criminals, and not all rappers carry guns and deal drugs. man you all some ignorent people. u wanna learn sumthin? ask me. but please shuhtup with scarface, its good but overrated.

You do realize that this is a Scarface forum, dont you? Meaning that this is the place people go TO talk about Scarface.

surly tupac was arrseted that means we cant respect him.

This is so ridiculous.

First of all, I don't think anyone has said "I don't like rappers, they carry guns". However some rappers are illegal things. Frankly, I would respect anyone as a person less if they are into illegal activities. However, Pacino carried an unregistered gun 40 years ago. Now, as far as I know he is a law abiding citizen. 40 years ago, I would have felt a little disrespect towards him as an individual, although I will always respect him as an actor no matter what he does.

Again, I end with...this is completely ridiculos.

I´m 100% agree with you, stop it, was 40 years ago.

So ? I just wanted to know more about one of the most brilliant and most successful actors on earth. Fair enough.

Right.

I just consider rappers as people that can't make real music. like i don't know 1 rapper that can play the guitar or the drums.

Oh no, Vito this wasn't aimed at you-I am also a little intrigued to know that Pacino was arrested also but its ridiculous how some of the people reacted to it.

He's a cocksucker.

Hey who knows maybe he had to carry a gun back then any way it was a lonmg time ago. and a man has to do what a man has to do.

That was the WHOLE point of why I said that.

I think I saw one of DeNiro on thesmokinggun.com

*Must see De Niro pic*...
