Another good Clemenza could be Joe Viterelli...he's "Jelly" in Analyze This & That...I think he's in quite a few other mob movies. Really nice, though! :0) I'm having trouble thinking of more, but anyone know who could play: - Young Vito - Carmella - Frank Pentangeli - Senator Geary - Don Fanucci - Don Cicci - Jack Woltz Plenty more, too! lol Ooh, maybe Smarty Jones could play Khartoum...or Seabiscuit...

I remember a while back when this topic had been done before someone quite seriously suggested Adam Sandler for Michael. That was surely a surreal moment of the history of the BB. So die all who betray Giuliano

I saw the Rundown and he was pretty good in it. Remember that Brasi's role is small, and with just the right amount of understatement, the Rock could pull of the role well. Better than Ah-nuld. I'd love to see Ah-nuld butcher the line Brasi does when he comes to see Vito and the kids run in. Ah-nuld probably wouldn't even need to act for that line!

I loved him in the Analyze This & That movies, and I know I've seen him in other stuff that he was really good in, as well. He was such a lovable character and guy. Thank you for informing me of that, or else I'd probably never have known... He will be greatly missed.

Yeah, well, have your fun, don't let me spoil anything. I just wanted to put my two cents in. (Two and a half cents, actually, because it was completely unsolicited opinion.) Just don't come to me when that lake of fire gets too hot.
