Al Pacino, 84, has an autobiography out entitled, Sonny Boy: A Memoir.

As we’ve previously reported, Pacino’s career is littered with roles of particular interest to LGBTQ+ moviegoers. One of these was playing a cop in the 1980 crime thriller Cruising.

The movie was written and directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection). It was loosely based on a true story about a serial killer targetting gay men who frequented New York’s leather scene in the late 1970s.

How about we take this to the next level?
