Had he lived I think he would have been good as Joey LaMotta in "Raging Bull," although Joey was the younger brother and Cazale was older than De Niro. Still, I think it would have been a good pairing since the two actors had worked together before and I think he would have been terrific under Scorsese's direction.
No disrespect to Joe Pesci, though. -

John Cazale's specialty seemed to be playing sad sacks and losers, i.e. Fredo in
The Godfather
and its sequel, Stan in
The Deer Hunter
, Sal in
Dog Day Afternoon
.
Chances are, had Cazale lived longer, he would have continued to be typecast in those types of roles. -

Totally random I was watching Al Pacino's "S1m0ne" the other day for the first time in years. And it just jumped out at me I could totally see John playing the Hank Aleno part (the guy who creates S1m0ne). It just instantly reminded me of one of his hard luck '70s characters. I almost wonder if it was intentional, it was so uncanny.
