I love how Pacino wanted to make sure they were still rolling to give John his credit. Great man.
-
Cazale was like the Jimi Hendrix of actors, he accomplished so much in so little amount of time and obviously the respect from great actors that he worked with.John elevated the players around him as well. Very under rated...Pacino is a class act and cool as hell .... interviewers should be more like this guy....let the subject speak....
-
John Cazale, he died so young. He was 42. And yet, ALL of his movies either won the best picture Oscar or were nominated. The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Partt II, Dog Day Afternoon and The Deer Hunter. His filmography are all masterpieces.
-
This is a great interview. The interviewer actually listened and didn't interrupt. Pacino is so humbly great. John was special.
-
Somebody buy this interviewer a beer for being a remarkable listener, and show this to all other interviewers so they can learn how to ask well thought out questions that turn an interview into a conversation. Pure gold!
-
AP is such a gracious and honest human being; always giving credit where credit is due. A true class act.
-
If Pacino says John Cazale was the shit....then, ....you better believe it. This man knows his craft.
-
Pacino's best moments on film were with John Cazale...clearly you see that he feels the same way.
-
Cazale should definitely have been nominated for Godfather 2 and Dog Day Afternoon.
-
What an amazing guy. I saw him once on a New York City Street, East 49th. We walked past each other looking at each other and I didn't know who it was at first. A few steps on I stopped and turned around and he was looking at me we both smiled, waved, then he walked into the building and I said wow that was Al Pacino. I'm still thrilled
-
They filmed Dog Day Afternoon in my neighborhood. Every day after school I would go watch them filming. One day Al said hello to me & I was so star struck, I think I just smiled back. I'm in that crowd somewhere...
-
It was such a blessing to see these two on stage in 1975. John Cazale dominated the stage in his scenes. He and Mr. Pacino were reaching the back rows with their energy.

"I'm your older brother, and I was stepped over!"
-
What an honest and genuine person PACINO is...No wonder he has given such honest performances. Acting from the soul...
-
John Cazale starred in so many great movies. The Godfather, The Godfather II, The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon and The Conversation. He died too soon, but what a legacy he left in cinema.

1975, I went to NYC for the first time, I took two weeks vacation, I went to museums, parks, theaters etc... One night on my way back to the hotel, I saw Pacino walking down the street, he was talking to someone, I follow him from a distance. He was using his arms/hands to add to his conversation. I followed him all the way to some fancy restaurant, he went in and I went back to my the hotel, I was happy...Pacino in real life!!!...Love N.Y.
-
"you never knew when acting started with John" ..that's probably the best compliment to give an Actor! cuz if you can't tell "Reality from Fiction" then they've SUCCEDED!
-
Every scene that John Cazale did in the "Godfather" films made those films (and the Corleone family) so much more REAL .... BECAUSE Fredo was weak, BECAUSE he was a screw-up, and Cazale brought that out so perfectly.
-
Al is such a sweet man. You can see how much he loved John and misses him.
-
Pacino is using his spotlight to shine a light one of his mentors. What a classy man
