Duvall is my man, way underrated, John Cazale as Fredo, too. Don't forget Al Lettieri who played Virgil Solozzo...this performance is way underrated. He nailed the part. His facial expressions and his voice tone and inflection and pacing are flawless.

Richard Castellano as Clemenza, and John Cazale as Fredo are great ones too.

In GF2, Michael Gazzo nailed the Pentangelli part. Hell, the guys who played Don Fanucci, Signor Roberto (the landlord), and the young Clemenza were all great.

Sonny stole the show in the very last scene in GF2!!! I wish there was more of Caan in GF1&2.
