Im sure this question has been asked before. Ive watched GFI & GFII many times and learn something new everytime I watch.

I was just wondering who Turnbull is and what his significance is to the film, he is referenced by Mike and Senator Geary at their meeting at Tahoe. Mike to Sen. Geary: Turnbull was a good man & Sen. Geary to Mike: From now on you deal with Turnbull.

Turnbull was a member of Geary's staff.

Turnbull was Geary's political bagman. A fuller discussion can be found here:

Did Turnbull also act as Geary's go between, with Geary's visits to Fredo's business?

I love my Chrysler and tuna fish sandwiches.

I think he may have stood in for the girl after Neri murdered her.

No. You're confusing him with MiniMafiaBoss.
