Trending
Jack Nicholson was offered the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather but would not accept it, insisting that Italians should play Italian characters. He admitted that he would have played the role well but preferred Al Pacino. Studio heads did indeed want someone with a bigger name, but Pacino's performance cemented the film's place as one of the greatest in the history of cinema.
