Pacino as Gil


From wiki and imdb trivia: Brad Pitt, Jack Nicolson, Al Pacino, and Wesley Snipes wanted to play the role of Gil (Pitt was approached for Bobby but turned it down wanting to play Gil, Jack Nicolson turned down Gil, )

Nicolson would've been interesting but how would Al Pacino have played it?

All loud crazy like De Niro did? (and Pacino in Scarface, Heat, Devils Advocate etc), or the more quiet Godfather 1/2 Pacino?

I guess he'd have done it similar to DeNiro did and the usual loud 'hoo-hah!' Pacino performance.

But Pacino might've been abit more interesting as he hadnt really done a 'loser/psycho' role whereas with DeNiro it was like an extension of stuff he'd already done (Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, Cape Fear)
