I can't believe that they didn't talk about Paul Shenar in the extra features on Scarface. I mean he played Sosa, and he was so important to the film, but yet you don't hear much about him. Not even Al commented. I was curious to know more about him after I heard that he died in 1989, and I can't even find that much info or pics of him on the internet!

I think he was a good actor, I just wish they gave him more credit in the Scarface feature.

Any thoughts about that?

No question that he was integral part of the movie. And he did a fantastic job playing his part.



Don Cardi cool

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.

I've seen him in other stuff too, like "Raw Deal" with Arnold Shrarzzenegger.(sp??)

He was good in that too. Everyone says that he made good villans.

The only movie I have seen Paul Shenar in was Scarface, and I think he played it really good!
He played Sosa so good, that I started having nightmares about him!

He was an underrated great actor.The character of Sosa is a classic villain.I had also seen him in Raw Deal with Arnold Swazzeneger.

I enjoyed his performance in Raw Deal alot. I also saw him in Best Seller, with James Woods, which totally rocked.

You got nightmares from Sosa, Zadjali?

You know why Shenar was the shit as Sosa?

Because he was Anti-Tony Montana.

He was quiet, cold calculating, intelligent, not impulsive, a manipulator not a hands-on man, you name it.

Plus, Shenar played so well that bullshit Latin American druglord pretense they have of themselves being like the European aristocracy that had ruled the lands for centuries, except instead of slavery, its drugs.

Yeah...

Is it true that Sosa stole Tony's tropical underwear?

How old was Paul Shenar when he died and how did he really die?
some sites say hiv and some say cancer?

That is so true! Sosa was everything that Tony wasent. You cant exactly say that Tony was the sharpest tool in the shed. He was pushed by aggresity (sry spelling), while Sosa used he´s brains in every step he took (using politician etc.)


I don't know nothin'. I don't see nothin'. I don't hear nothin'. When I do I don't tell the cops. Understand?

Sosa is who and what Tony wanted to be.

I totally agree with that. Tony wanted everything Sosa had, but he was too hot-headed and often irrational to keep it!

He didn't think things through like Sosa did, and take Franks advise to remain "low key" so that he could last a long time.

That is how Sosa lasted so long(not by Frank) but by being low key and not trying to "have it all".

Yeah,Frank was surprisingly quite smart.But the stupid bastard hired retards to "do the job" on Tony.
