Great thread.

I think Tom(had he been Italian) would have made a very successful Don.He would have conducted himself along the lines of Vito,therefor gaining Respect and love.Also as a previous Consigliere,he would have used those attributes to stay ahead of the rest.
As for being as cunning as Michael,well no, he didn't have that killer instinct but he would always know whats good for business.


The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
