but whats funny is if you look at the kids who played anthony and mary in gf2 they are a complete flip flop of the ones who portray them in GF3...little Mary looks more like Kay while Anthony looks more Sicilian...in GF3 its the other way around... Correct me if I am wrong, but I read at some point that Sofia Coppola actually also played Mary Corleone in GF II (that is the sleeping girl on Kay's lap following the hit attempt at the Nevada house). She also played the infant Michael Rizzi in GFI, of course.

Maybe he would have given Vincent an insignificant job, like Carlo. 
I would have much preferred Anthony taking over, but that's another story. 
TIS I can agree with TIS on this one. Vincent was blood. So therefore Micheal would have still accepted him. However passing on the reins of leadership, noway. the Anthony character in GF3 was very gay...i dont see an inch of tough guy in that character...

The Sicilian raises a good point. But at the same time Anthony appeare the way he did, due to the writing. Had FFC intended for Anthony to eventually succed Micheal, then the writing would have called for Anthony to be a lot tougher. IMO. Personally I'm glad that Anthony wasn't written to succed Micheal. But that's a different story.

Mike was smart enought to know that Anthony could have been the brains to Vincent's brawn. I think Tony would've lasted about two seconds (bada-bing) unless he'd have had Vinnie's support, strength and street sense. 
"The Godfather was a man to whom everybody came for help and never were they disappointed. He made no empty promises, nor the craven excuse that his hands were tied by more powerful forces in the world than himself. It was not necessary that he be your friend, it was not even important that you had no means with which to repay him. Only one thing was required. That you, yourself, proclaim your friendship. And then, no matter how poor or powerless the supplicant, the Godfather would take that person's troubles to his heart. He would let nothing stand in the way to a solution of that person's woe. His reward? Friendship, the respectful title 'Don' and sometimes the more affectionate salutation of 'Godfather.' Perhaps, to show respect only, never for profit, some humble gift - a gallon or homemade wine or a basket of fresh baked goods on a holiday. It was understood to proclaim that you were in his debt and that he had the right to call upon you at any time to redeem the debt by some small service." -- Mario Puzo, The Godfather (1969).

I think Tony's rememberance of Fredo is what kept him away from that business. But a lot of people would have said that Originally posted by Don Vanchenzo: I think Tony would've lasted about two seconds (bada-bing) unless he'd have had Vinnie's support, strength and street sense. about Michael in the beginning of Part 1 too, so Tony could have learned from his father. Those of you who want to See Vincent in Part 4, what if Anthony had a son who learned about the business his grandfather was in and also wanted to be in?Anthony's reaction.....?
If winners never lose, well, then a loser sure can sing the blues.

That might be interesting to explore. Anthony's reaction if he find out that his son wanted to go into the same business as his grandfather/great grandfather.

I didn't get the impression that Anthony was, well, gay -- just that he was an upper-crust, pampered, Ivy league type of guy.
If a GF IV were made, I could see, after the shock of seeing his sister murdered before his eyes, Anthony might 'snap' and decide to join the family in order to take revenge on those who brought her murder about.
He'd never be a tough guy like Sonny or Vincent or even Michael in his younger days, but he finish law school and then take on a Tom Hagen-like role in the family with Vincent as the Don.

Personally, I think Tony's too much of a fannuch to take any role in the business. Your interesting point is well taken, however.
