Why was he talking through his nose?


After about 30 minutes of that, I was actually missing "hoo ha".

Pacino's voice was more nasal then; he was from the Bronx. As he smoked more etc his voice deepened. Maybe the real Serpico also had a nasal voice.

His voice wasn't nasal in the first two Godfather movies, done around the same time. It was an annoying and pointless affectation.
