- Steven Bauer, Scarface, 1983. Al Pacino’s protege – “the best young actor I saw” – won four movies only (Cruising, Once Upon A Time In America, etc). “A terrific actor,” agreed producer Martin Bregman, “but wrong for this part.” During the third week of his American Buffalo‘s off-Broadway run with Pacino, Hayden OD’d at 29. “I loved him,” said Al. “I’ve been around awhile, seen a lot. But Jimmy, he had this thing, whatever it is, that sort of set him apart. His death reached a lot of people. And it did change a bit, a little bit, the way I’m thinking about things. That, I can’t deny.”
