I bet he wouldve been in a bunch of other great stuff. The Fonda that was in GF3 is somewhat well known also.

I mean, I can't think of anybody, dead, alive, a big star or an off broadway actor-no one could have played Fredo better. He was just as good in all of his other movies.

I also like Danny Aiello, but he never became as big as a star as he should of. Although, I guess to other, non Mafia-atics, can't appreciate him as we do. To them he is just one of the many that follow in De Niro's and Peschi's shadow. Aiello was really good in The Last Don, although I did not like the movie very much.

IMDB credits John Cazale for :- The Godfather Trilogy, Deerhunter, Dogday Afternoon, Godfather part 11, The Conversation and The Godfather. He surely was a great loss to the acting profession, I believe he would have gone on to many more major parts and been a huge success as the leading man in all he did. Bustas' post reminded me of Joe Mantenga, I tend to overlook him tho he has done quite a bit of other stuff in his career. I like him as an actor also. He has a distintinctive voice and he read The Godfather on my audio tape FH

We all know that Bruno played young Clemenza in GFII and Richard Castellano was older Clemenza. In the 70's there was a short lived TV show called The Super. About a super of a building and his son. The Super was played by Richard Castellano and the son was played by.......you got it, Bruno Kirby! No big deal but just thought that this info is a bit of fun trivia for us GF fans. Don Cardi Don Cardi Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.
