Joe pesci godfather?!


Question:

Joe pesci godfather?

I was wondering how Joe Pesci would of bin the Godfather 1&2 only.He was a young actor at the time,but he'd be great with Brando,and Pacino.Agree,disagree?


Answers:

Partially disagree due to timing but not completely.

Here's why:

Pesci is well received by fans in most gangster movies now which includes: Casino, Goodfellas, and A Bronx Tale.

However, since he was young (29 years old) and unknown at the time, not to mention kind of short in stature, I'm not sure audiences would have embraced him in the Pacino (Corleone) role due to the different macho outlook that prevailed in the '70's which was a different time in U.S. movie history.

In fact, Francis Ford Coppola had to convince the studio executives that Al Pacino was going to be popular and successful enough in the role, as they wanted someone else cast instead of "That midget Pacino" which is a direct quote from one of the studio executives against Al being cast at the time.

Although, if they would have cast him in a supporting role like Fredo or something else, I think he would have fit into the movie well and that would have been interesting.

However, he would have always been known as the guy that sold his own brother out. Which is how people viewed John Cazale (Fredo) before he died of bone cancer in March 1978.

As a result, he may have had difficulty getting work afterwards and could not have had the opportunity to be cast in the other great movies he's made.

You never know but I believe that everything happens for a reason.
