Why Marlon Brando Never Forgave His ''The Godfather'' Co Stars

The casting was 100 percent genius, especially Michael. and Vito, and Sonny, and well everyone.

When he played The Godfather, I forgot that he was Marlon Brando. This guy as that convincing. True artist.

I watched The Godfather in 1972. Changed my life how I view life. Rewatched it a couple of times. Latest was yesterday, 6/1/2025 over Netflix. Thank you for making an offer i can't resist.

"Paramount laughed at Pacino because he was too Italian."

Too Italian to play an ITALIAN American gangster ? Are these studios run by idiots ? (Yes. Obviously)

[johnmiller]

Elderly actor, he was 47 who was playing elderly but was not elderly himself.

[johnr]

Coppola knew exactly what he was doing casting Brando .

[CanadianPatriot-yq]

But regardless of all his eccentricity Brando played the role of Vito Corleone to perfection and Al Pacino played his role of Michael Corleone to even greater perfection.

Brando was paid $50K for The Godfather...the studio made wonder why he was mad lol

Met Marlon Brando in Rome in 1968, his girlfriend was my older sister’s best friend, his girlfriend was this beautiful Jamaican woman, I think her name was Leslie. I was just a kid and we met at an amusement park, nice guy…

Marlon Brando was only 47 years old when he was in this movie??? He played that role even down to the movements, voice and the walk! He moved around like he was eighty years old! Now THATS acting right

[zanethind]

Marlon was difficult yes but holy did he deserve more money for the Godfather. That was his perfect role

[melancholiac]

I still find striking how different the young Al Pacino looks compared to the older Al Pacino. It's like they are two entirely different people.

[BrainFire]

Not a perfect man, obviously, on set or off set ... but ... one of the most exciting actors whoever lived. And I'm very thankful that we have his films forever.

[borood]

Fun fact: Eva Marie Saint, female lead in On The Waterfront is still alive! 99 years old.

[megafaunaforever]

Marlon Brando as the Godfather is the single most iconic character and the best performance in movie history. With due respect to Al Pacino, De Niro and other masters, Brando remains the greatest.

[LegendsRewind-]

Marlon Brando is a film legend. Althought his personality was somewhat difficult, no one can deny his talent and the significant impact he had on the industry.

[damianlopez]

I never heard Marlon Brando Speak bad about anyone, I've Heard a million stories of people Speaking bad about Him I guess That's the price of Greatness

[deadegad]

Does Francis Ford Coppola actually prefer the pronoun "she?" Is he transitioning?

[SWright]

RIP Burt Reynolds. As Peter O’Toole said (in a movie) “I’m not an actor, I’m a movie star!”

[ajitsuttatti]

Inspite of his antics and attitude, Marlon Brando was, is and will always be a level above Pacino, De Niro, Nicholson, etc etc. Anyone who is a true genius is aways an enigma, weird, etc etc. Marlon Brando is the true genius of acting😊
