Also interesting to note that he was originally supposed to play Sonny Corleone in the first Godfather movie. After Al Pacino became available to play Michael Corleone, James Caan (the original Michael) was given the part of Sonny because he was closer to Pacino's height than Caridi. It's interesting to think what could've been.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted June 12, 2019 Honorary Oscars to be handed out to David Lynch (fair enough), Wes Studi (eh, makes sense in a "first Native American to win an Oscar" but you should have given one to Russel Means when he was still alive), Geena Davis (wait what?) and Lina Wertmuller. Honorary Oscars are often a "shit, give them something before they croak" and I think that's what we've got here in Wertmuller's case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
