Carlito's Way
"I wasn't having an easy time finding work at this time in my career, but because of my background I had some understanding of what this character could be and what the background was like.... I loved working with Al Pacino. He was unusually generous for someone in his position. He has a very open mind, and a very open heart."

In 1993, you worked in Carlito's Way, by Brian de Palma, with Al Pacino, who many consider today's number one. What was that experience like?
He is a very interesting man, with a great sense of humour, very hard working and, above all, very generous and humble. You learn a lot from people like him. I don't know if he is the greatest. I liked him best during his early stage, in films like Scarface, Serpico or The Godfather.

Reviews
Viggo Mortensen (A History of Violence), in a small role, manages to steal a scene from Pacino without ever getting out of his chair.

Viggo Mortensen in
Carlito’s Way (1993)
Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) has been released from prison on a technicality after serving five years of his thirty-year sentence. He’s determined to reform, but finds that his dream of going legitimate is undermined at every turn.
Viggo Mortensen plays “Lalín,” an old friend of Brigante’s who has been crippled and is confined to a wheelchair. He’s been released from prison and come to visit Brigante, who discovers that Lalín has an ulterior motive.
Watching Lalín on Blu-ray has given me a whole new appreciation for this character. I had seen him as just a sneaky, whiny guy but with the extra detail I can see so many different expressions. I think Viggo must have had a lot of fun with him.
