All six (6) of the full-length movies he appeared in (including in archival footage, "The Godfather: Part III," were nominated for Best Picture Oscars. That's simply AMAZING! THAT record will surely NEVER be brob68ken!!

Damned good, no luck with Cazale. Check out the documentary I Knew It Was You. The greatest actors of our generation pay tribute to Cazale and praise him for his abilities. They claim they still haven't worked with someone as good as he was.
The ones paying tribute were of course: De Niro, Pacino, Buscemi, Streep, Sam Rockwell, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman -

He was SO good, I failed to recognize it until he was dead. Then, I watched his movies, again, only more closely. Then, it suddenly hit me! He made every single movie he was in, BETTER!! R.I.P.

Good Actor or Lucky? Well its both. I think great actors are always offered the best movies. John Cazale was lucky that he was around when the movies that he was in were being made! If he came along today he would of had a harder time because they don't make movies like "Dog Day" or "The Godfather" with good actors. If Dog Day was mede today if would star "Ben Afleck" and "Ben Stiller" and the film would SUCK! Ben Afleck can act he can direct but his acting is bad.
