ABC may have the opportunity to really go 'A-list' for the next installment of 'Dancing With the Stars.'  Al Pacino who plays nefarious casino owner Willie Bank in Ocean's Thirteen, tells Time magazine that he wouldn't rule out appearing on the ABC reality competition – although fans probably shouldn't hold their breath.

The magazine's hits the legendary actor in its "10 Questions" feature.  A reader asks Pacino, who won an Oscar after tangoing with Gabrielle Anwar in 1992's Scent of a Woman: "I know you are a private person, but I hear that you can really dance. Would you consider doing Dancing with the Stars?"

He replies: "Actually, I would consider it. All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on Dancing with the Stars mainly because I would be too shy."

ABC would be wise to go strong at the Pacino for a contestant.  Can you imagine?  Another great question for Pacino in the TIME piece is Who does the best Al Pacino impression?  He answers, "Certainly not me. Kevin Spacey comes close. Jamie Foxx does a good rendition of me. It's a real gift, mimicry of that kind, the tonal thing. It's sort of like having a talent for playing an instrument."
