Al Pacino, best known for his acting skills and mafia boss roles, has enjoyed a great career over the years. However, it turns out that his stature nearly lost the iconic role in The Godfather to him. In 2017, during a Tribeca film fest discussion, the cast of the film reunited. Paramount producers revealed that they initially thought playing Vito Corleone was “too short” for the actor. They wanted, at first, somebody like Robert Redford instead. That Francis Ford Coppola picked Pacino was a good thing.
