Pacino insisted on taking the lead role as Tony Montana and no one can imagine anyone else being as lovable evil as much as Al Pacino was.
Pacino worked with experts in knife combat, trainers, and boxer Roberto Durán to attain the body type that he wanted for the role. His smile is the most entertaining, loving fun and evil at the same time.
Montana was named the 27th Greatest Movie Character by Empire magazine.Tony Montana (Al Pacino) was based on real-life mobster Al Capone. Scarface is loosely based on a 1932 film of the same name, in which the main character, Tony Camonte, is inspired by infamous Mafioso Al Capone, one of the most notorious crime lords in mob history.
