Robert DeNiro Auditions For Sonny In The Godfather
The part ended up going to James Caan. I'm so glad DeNiro didn't get the part. I can't imagine DeNiro in any other role than the one he landed.

I didn't realize he was that cute that young. Check out those dimples.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, James Caan as Sonny is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize he had a pony tail back then.
ReplyDeleteHe would have been a great Sonny but I definitely like him as Vito in part II.
ReplyDeleteI loved Al Pacino, too bad they had to muff it up with number 3.
ReplyDeleteI will forever have a huge crush on Mr. De Niro.
ReplyDeleteHe was adorable!
ReplyDeleteMe too, mizzavrid, even though my husband makes a gaping squint face when he imitates him.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! But yeah, I loved him as young Vito in II.
