Extract: John Cazale died in 1978 aged only 42 of cancer
I think he was in only five films all of which were acclaimed and won several awards though sadly he was not personally nominated, in spite of his stellar performance

Al Pacino on The Godfather: "It’s Taken Me a Lifetime to Accept It and Move On"
- Who from the movie doesn’t get enough credit for their contribution?
John Cazale in general, was one of the great actors of our time — that time, any time
I learned so much from him I had done a lot of theater and three films with him He was inspiring, he just was
And he didn’t get credit for any of it
He was in five films, all Oscar-nominated films and he was great in all of them
He was particularly great in Godfather
II and I don’t think he got that kind of recognition
