Did Al Pacino go by Sonny Scott?
I heard he used this name early in his acting career, but I can’t find any credits for Sonny Scott.

No, but he almost did. He cites a stigma around ethnic last names in the film industry as the reason why: "In the old days, in America, when you had an ethnic name, you changed it. ...It was unthinkable to have a name that ended in a vowel.”
“I was acting when I was very young, and so they said, 'Well you're going into acting, you've got to change your name.' So I thought, 'Sonny Scott'.” In his youth, Pacino’s nickname was Sonny.
He eventually got into New York’s prestigious Actors Studio, where his acting coach, Lee Strasberg, was his first teacher to pronounce “Pacino” correctly. He eventually embraced his name, and he’s said that he’s grateful he did.

Is Al Pacino a jew?
Al Pacino is a practising Roman Catholic. In many photgraphs, you can see he wears roasary beads. I have seen him many times leaving a Roman Catholic church in New York, which speaks Latin. There was an interview in which Pacino stated that the only place he was allowed to go as a child was "Church, school and the movies". In the early 1970s, after breifly lapsing in his religion, Pacino began attending church again, this was during "The Godfather" filming, so perhaps it was the culture of the Italian Americans that was making him feel closer to his religion, who knows? However, he is a practising Roman Catholic, and is quite religious.
