    I don't think there's a lot of movies today that's good enough for him to be in.

      I agree! We know he would have done LOTS of movies with his
      best friend Al Pacino. He stated that he would have acted
      with John for life! That's a wonderful compliment coming
      from Al.
      I'm sure Cazale would have said "Thanks but no thanks" about the time Pacino signed on for Simone 😉

          He would be considered among the greats, without a doubt. Its a shame.

            Only seen him in the Godfather films but it certainly amazes me that his only 5 films have all been huge critical successes. That's no coincidence.
            If you go on to Pacino and De Niro's IMDB pages, they have made so many duds, yet this guy has a 100% record. Tragic loss. Always looks so innocent in his films. He made Fredo.

                he obviously would have but the fact is his first 5 movies are all considered great films and the start of an actor's career is usually pretty slow.

                  Not only that, his first five movies were all nominated for best picture. And they all happen to be on the top 250 here

                      "Imagine if he got roles in Goodfellas and Raging Bull"
                      My thoughts exactly! Not to mention Casino, the Aviator, the Departedand I bet Pacino would've recruited him for Scent of a Woman & Heat.

                          He would have been great in the leading role in "Leaving Las Vegas".even if Nicolas Cage won the Oscar for it.

                            It's really heartbreaking. He would have been a staple of Scorcese films and/or any cop show you can think of. So much talent there.
                            Meryl Streep, though married and with kids, still speaks of him as the great love of her life.
                            "I'm smart, not dumb." KILLS me every time. Especially when you know he's really gone.

                              Could've been one of the greats, very real and natural on screen.
                              He will always be missed.

                                For some reason, his playi111cng the tragic Fredo makes his untimely passing even sadder.
                                (Though in real life, CLEARLY he was the farthest thing from a loser)

                                  Pipe,
                                  Your point is well-made, but your grammar and spelling are horrible
                                  It is amazing that John Cazale was in 3 Oscar winning films and another Oscar nominated film out of 5 feature films he was in. My question is, where is his honorary acknowledgment or achievement award from the academy? He is definitely among my top 10 favorite actors.

                                    I'm sure your comments concerning Pipe's grammar and spelling made him/her not only feel better, but also begin using grammar and spelling in a way that'll please you, Angel. Why do so many people feel the need to belittle and insult other people? How does that make anything better ever?
                                    John Cazale was fantastic, a one-of-a-kind character actor. It's obviously a tremendous tribute to John that he remains such an indelible figure to so many of us. I'm glad we have five great movies to appreciate and enjoy him in.

                                        I agree 100%. Such a shame. He was a fantastic actor, it would've been so exciting to see him in other films, he would've won a few Oscars by now I bet.
                                        Kill off all my demons and my angels might die too.

                                          His performance in The Godfather Part II is one of the greats; possibly the most tragic role I've ever seen.
