In an episode of the TV series "Las Vegas" Ed Deline
( played by James Caan ) is shooting a commercial for the Hotel. But he just doesn't like doing it and feels stupid with his lines.

So the director pulls Caan over to the side and tells him that he needs to speak to the audience and says to him
"Speak with authority, the way Sonny spoke to his brother in that scene from The Godfather." And Caan replies to him "I've never seen The Godfather." And the director says " You're kidding? That movie is a classic." And Caan has this dumbfounded and confused look on his face.

The later on in the same episode, the director for the commercial shoot has his hand over Caan's wife's hand and is gently rubbing it. Caan is getting really pissed and finally says to the director " You touch my wife again, and I'll kill ya!"

An obvious referenece to his line in GF when he tells Carlo "you touch my sister again, and I'll kill ya."
