Can you recognize this book cover?

Here's a challenge. Anyone happen to recognize the book whose cover is partially revealed/shown here? I think it looks like Ralph Nader. My friend thinks it's Al Pacino. But neither panned out. Ideas?

Abe Vigoda or Nipsey Russell. One or the other.

Dishoom! It looks like Amitabh Bhachchan to me, and a match for the cover of To Be Or Not To Be.

PY got it right - it was "To Be or Not To Be," about/by Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan. Thanks PY!
