its true that it wouldnt make sense him being sonny since al pacino was older and i also think james cann did it with a lil more agression, but it still was very good

This is why he is literally the greatest actor of all time. Hands down, no arguing. Period. No doubts. Anyone wanna argue with me on that one?

It's remarkable how he and Elias Koteas resemble each other.

Too bad he'd didn't get the role as Sonny. He would have been great in Rollerball and Misery as well.

De niro just wasn't old enough to play that role. He is younger than al pacino who would be playing his youngest kid brother.

It worked out for the better, Coppola probably knew then that he was better suited for the role as the young Vito in part 2.
