RIP James Caan, the real Sonny.

Howard was probably thinking of Burt Lancaster. He was considered by the studio for the role of Vito.

[@HoldenNY22]

I didn't know that. He might have had the acting chops to make a great Vito Corleone, but I I don't think B.L looks Italian.

[@camselle]

Love Jimmy Caan

[@toolrammsteindeftones]

An excellent job he did.

[@jordancarlin9687]

Caan could have walked into any mob joint in real life and pulled up a chair

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

The cast of Godfather was perfect, especially the first film

[@RILDILPODCAST]

Sonny was my favorite godfather character

[@cp1048]

The program is the greatest football movie ever made.

[@michaeldavid6284]

I thought the role of Vito Corleone was originally offered to Keanu Reeves.

[@RILDILPODCAST]

Ford Coppala knew much better than the studios if Caan plays Michael the movie isn't as good and Al Pacino's career would have looked completely different lol
