An acting legend. At an early age he was visited by Marlen Brando, Spencer Tracy, and James Stewart, who passed on the great secrets of acting to him. Since appearing in The Godfather in 1971, he has added class, skill and shouting to over 75 films. After appearing in Revolution he had to have a lie-down for several years.
Personal Details
Born: In the past
Height: 5ft 6” – but it ain’t how big it is, it’s what you do with it.
Spouse: No. Never has done apparently. But was involved with Diane Keaton on and off for years, so just be grateful Woody Allen never made a film about that.
