I think Turnbull is good enough to have his own regime.

In fact, he could have his own family if he ever decide to leave that one toilet town he lives in now.

It's really hard to decided who is right and who is wrong. One one side you have guys like DC and Turnbull, two guys who seem to know a lot about the mob and the godfather movies saying that they think that this guy is Don Cico from Italy. Then on the other side you have Geoff and SC who also know a whole lot about the godfather movies. After all wihtout Geoffs knowledge of the gf movies, we would not have this site. And from what I've read SC is defiantley one of the top people here especially when it comes to movies and actors.

Can I stay nutral and be the negotiater please?

I know this place, over in New Jersey, an Italian restaurant called Casa Dante. We can all go there and decide this thing. They have an old toilet with the box and the chain. DS can be the negotiator. Plaw can order the Garlic Bread, it's the best in town. We can then try and decide who this mystery man is, over a nice dinner. But if SC gets up to go to the toilet, better yet if he asks permission to go to the toilet, then we're in trouble!

Is there going to be any extermination?

Whichever one makes the best offer *waiting*

I know someone who makes an offer no one can refuse!

Its almost 2006, and no one wants an all out war. Make a deal people.

Well, there hasn't been a peep from Guest24, the originator of the topic.

Perhaps a deal already HAS been made...

And now...you can go.

I get to be a Bochiccio then... always wanted to be crazy and ruthless

Hey Joolsie, interested in a game of pinochle?

Okay, here are some more shots... I wish I had more of Mystery Man.

Compare their noses and ears, and Don Ciccio has a DeNiro-like mole on his face which doesn't seem to be as pronounced as our Mystery Man's. And I don't care how much makeup he has on in the early GF2 scenes -- he's not in his 30's or 40's! The makeup is in the bottom right when he's older.



I went through a bunch of possibilities in GF2, and none matched. This match does seem to be the closest so far, but I've yet to be convinced...

He can also harvest the cigarette smoke--it's the thickest in town.

True, the mole isn't as pronounced--it may have been more prominent when he was younger, or have been darkened for the camera. But for me, the convincer is the bag under the left eye.

I'm better-looking, too.

Turnbull, I've taken care of business, just like you said. Guest 24 is sleeping with the fishes. Now no one can prove you wrong.

And no one can prove him right, either.

Don Ciccio has huge bags under both eyes -- like many people do... It can also simply be a matter of lighting.

But look at the nose: Mystery Man's is flatter and wider.
And look at his ears: Ciccio has huge ear lobes, and in this pick, MM doesn't appear to have any at all.... And, Don Ciccio has a pronounced dimple in his chin. I can't accept a bag under someone's eye as proof.

How old do you think Giuseppe Sillato is in these pics? It's obviously not an actor they brought over from the states -- especially a middle-aged one they could dress up too look 20 yrs older. I think they found a local who looked like they envisioned to play the part. He had been in 2 previous movies, and hasn't worked since GF2.

I gotta run - will be back later...

But after all this, I know it's gonna turn out to be him anyway!

A guess (but a whole different one then mentioned before, just for fun)...isn't it the guy who gots killed by young Vito with the knife.....? Mosca if I'm correct...one of the added scenes...

You'll get no argument there my friend!

Your smarter, better looking and more experienced. No question about it. Are you still on my side in this thing?


Don Cardi

Guest24 is just a Newbie, he could have never outfought Turnbull. But I wasn't sure, until this day, that it was Apple all along!


Don Cardi

Do we know when this mystery photo was taken? Are you sure it was taken 30 years after the movie was made? This guy through the eyes just doesn't look like Don Cicci to me. But then it doesn't really look like anyone I can think of but I still think it could be an older Fanucci.

I'm with you on this one, JG. I noticed the dimple too, as well as the fact that Don Ciccio has longer, straighter eyebrows with a low arch towards the outside. Mystery Man's eyebrows arch in the middle, and they're thicker. Also, not only does MM lack the dimple, but he's also got one of those horizontal half-moon creases under his bottom lip, which Ciccio doesn't have. Hmmm... unless that's a scar.

Also, the crow's feet by Ciccio's eyes turn up by the eyelid, while MM's turn down onto the cheekbone. And speaking of lines in the face, notice how Ciccio's laugh lines around his mouth are really deep? MM's aren't as deep, and furthermore, the line on the left side isn't straight, it's kind of uneven, like one little part of it doesn't crease as deep as the rest. I notice that because I have it when I smile, too.

It's tough to tell, really... I mean we could be WAYYY off. And if we're right and it's not really him, that's a lot of coincidences for two actors in a movie. The mole, the moustache (which looks about similar), etc.

Also, MM could be well into his 70's, maybe early 80's if he's really healthy. I don't think he necessarily has to be in his 60's. And if it is Ciccio, then he's gained weight, which could make a big difference in how his face looks. So it's not impossible. But still, I'm not convinced it's him.

Sorry DC.

By the way, in the bottom left picture-- is Ciccio about to sneeze? It looks like he's breathing in for it, and the next picture should be "CHOO!!"

Don Cardi

Have the bets been placed yet

I think we were all set up with a practical joke. It is time to smile into camera!!

Or what if that 'Guest 24' isn't going to come back? Then we will be arguing here for ever

Yes Afs, I think you are right!
