Robert De Niro, who often portrays gangsters in films that goes back to the days of 1974’s The Godfather Part II, was offered the lead role in 1983’s Scarface, but turned it down. Today, it’s impossible to imagine anyone else playing the role of Tony Montana than Al Pacino. Incidentally, Pacino starred with De Niro in Godfather Part II, as you can see in the photo above.
