(hypothetical) If they did cast a Fausto Dominick "Nick" Geraci and Mario Puzo used him in his novel- who would you think would have been casted as him.

1971 actor


All right, you are what you are. It’s your nature. You stay close to me. You don’t do anything. You keep your mouth shut, and your eyes open. And you do what I tell you. Understand?

I always imagined Harvey Keitel while reading the book.

harvey keitel - not bad idea


how about
1) Dennis Farina
2) Martin Sheen
3) Danny Aiello
4) Anthony Quinn
5) Michael Gambon
6) F. Murray Abraham
7) Joe Viterelli
8) John Chappoulis
9) Andy Romano
10) Robert Redford
11) Warren Beatty
12) Jack Nicholson
13) Ryan O'Neal

The part of Michael Corleone in The Godfather (1972) was one of the most sought- after roles in film history. Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Ryan O'Neal, Robert De Niro, and a host of others were bandied about for the role, but director Francis Ford Coppola had his heart set on the unknown Italian Pacino.

Funny - I was thinking Keitel too - boxer who could come across as a boss as well

Someone pretty generic looking, like Geraci was written. Maybe Ryan O'Neal.

Other casting choices I made while reading (and keep in mind that these are the early to mid 70s versions of these actors) are

Burt Young: Don Louie Russo
Harrison Ford: James Kavanaugh Shea
Martin Sheen: Danny Shea
Gene Hackman: M. Corbett Shea
Frederic Forrest: Joe Lucadello/Ike Rosen
