I'm sure he could play an older Vito
Reflecting on the Young Vito Character. I found him very likeable. Ok, aside from maybe a couple things, like fact that he went back to Sicily to knife Don Ciccio.
The famous pear scene, when he smiled as Mama Corleone commented on the pear. Sitting on the stoop with Sonny & Michael. He actually seemed fatherly. He had more of a heart than Michael no?
