"Extra" correspondent Jerry Penacoli caught up with Al Pacino at the "Scarface" special edition Blu-ray release party, where they talked about the signature film and why it has endured as a fan favorite over the years.

Pacino pondered, "I don't know. I wish I knew because I would try to make another one."

"Extra" correspondent AJ Calloway hit the Great White Way to celebrate the 2011 Tony Awards -- and to ask stars about hot­ topics such as Rep. Anthony Weiner's troubles, and Alec Baldwin's possible NYC mayor run.

"I like it," Tony Award nominee Al Pacino said about Baldwin running for mayor. "But I thought I'd run," the actor laughed, adding, "Maybe I'm a little old for the part."

Known for his lifelong crusade to legalize physician-assisted suicide, Dr. Jack Kevorkian died Friday in Detroit hospital of pulmonary thrombosis, a complication of a kidney-related ailment. He was 83.

The doctor of death was documented in an award-winning 2010 HBO film, "You Don't Know Jack," starring Al Pacino. The film portrayed Kevorkian as a passionate, humble and stubborn doctor who deeply believed in his cause, and yielded an Emmy, SAG Award and Golden Globe for Pacino.

Dr. Kevorkian spent decades fighting for the legalization of euthanasia. The doc served eight years of his original 10-25 year sentence in prison for murder, and was arrested many times for helping more than 130 people commit suicide between 1990 and 2000. He used carbon monoxide and lethal injections with his infamous home-made suicide machine, which he built for $30 to aid in the death of terminally ill patients.

In a 2010 interview with Anderson Cooper, Kevorkian explained, "I didn't do it to end a life. I did it to end the suffering the patient's going through. The patient's obviously suffering - what's a doctor to do, turn his back?"
