Marlon Brando

Continuing with the ‘Godfather’ trilogy, actor Marlon Brando (1924-2004) played the enigmatic Vito Corleone in the first instalment. While it had been agreed that the late star would be returning for the final scene of the second part, Brando simply did not show up on set.

In ‘The Godfather II,’ Robert De Niro plays a young Vito.
