Carmine Caridi, who played Carmine Rosato in GFII has died.

The obit linked below has some interesting tidbits, including that FFC wanted Caridi to play Sonny, but Robert Evans over-ruled him.

Caridi also played Volpe (the Don whose coat gets stuck in the door during the helicopter attack) in GFIII.

What other actors had speaking roles as different characters in the Trilogy? (Sofia Coppola doesn't count.)
