“Al Pacino has a different natural style of humor. He’s one of America’s finest dramatic actors, but offscreen he’s a funny guy: New York funny. He has that New Yorker’s reaction to things, the ability to shrug off so many of life’s threats and dangers because they are surrounded by threats and dangers all the time right there in their own hometown. We were standing in the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles with Walter Cronkite, Pele, and others, only a few hours after the terrible earthquake in January 1994. We were in town for a cable TV awards banquet the night before. So we were each telling about our own reaction when the quake hit. All of us were shaken-at least I was. But Pacino shrugged and said, “I’m from New York. I thought it was a bomb.” -Larry King
