At the time, Pacino was paid roughly $5 million dollars for Part III. To be offering a renowned character actor like Duvall, considering how long he had been around and the renowned film projects he'd done, about a fourth of that is a little insulting. Personally, I feel he was being surprisingly modest by saying he had no problem Pacino getting twice what he did.
I agree, Vito's. Duvall is one of the greatest actors of all time. He's certainly entitled to ask what he can get. If we could do an analysis of every post on these boards, we'd probably find that Tom Hagen is the most admired, appealing character in GF and II. He could ask what he wanted for III.
