What was he going to play? Fredo's illegitimate son? I think Coppola made the right choice?

I’m glad Nicky didn’t make the cut.

I like Cage, but I don’t think he would have been a good fit.

Still he could have placed him in there with such a large cast. Seems kinda mean.

Couldn’t have made part III any worse.

Cage is a fine actor. His choice in material is questionable at best. And missing out on The Godfather III is no loss. It was a dud.

Coppola probably didn’t want even more drama on the set than he already had. I can just imagine Cage and Pacino going at it with Caan egging it all on.

Maybe in part III, as an altar boy in the Vatican.

If there was a mobster with spikey hair from the valley in the script, Cage was a shoe in.

I only came in here looking for that “You Don’t Say” meme.
Disappointed.

Part III just doesn’t feel like it’s part of the same story.

The actor, who is Coppola’s nephewJust more evidence of the nepotism that permeates hollywood and breeds the disgust they have for the fly over people who actually have to work for a living.

Coppola’s own daughter sucked...

While I’ve seen Godfather I and II scores of times, I can barely remember Godfather III.
I only remember it being rather plodding, and a lot of people not liking it. Its certainly never on TV like the first two.

I don’t like this guy, he creeps me out. Watch him in "Raising Arizona." He's young, and its really funny.

Cage doesn’t look Italian. Sucks to be him.
