Los Angeles, Jun 18 (IANS): "Scarface" and "Dog Day Afternoon" producer Martin Bregman, whom actor Al Pacino once described as "my guy", is dead. He was 92.

Bregman had also produced "Carlito's Way", "Serpico" and "Sea of Love" with Pacino. He was slated to produce David Ayer's upcoming adaptation of "Scarface".
