Luca Brasi

Good call. Luca was very funny and cool. Dumb as a brick but incredibly loyal and humble before the Don.

I have always wondered, did the Don knowingly sacrifice him? I always felt like he knew he was going to be killed.

p.s. I have seen that movie a million times and still wonder.

i get the impression that a lot of people like luca brasi just because of the memorable name

i love tom hagen and frank pentangeli (the guy who kills himself before testifying)

Frankie Five Angels is a good pick. My favorite was always Clemenza.

yeah man. If I wanna make my friend laugh all I have to do is imitate Pentangeli's voice.
But my favorite would have to be Hyman Roth. It's so cool how Lee Strasberg (acting coach for DeNiro, Brando etc.) plays him in his only movie role.

Which one? Before shooting Solozzo (sp?) and McClusky or after?

I like the later Michael.

Solozzo is a great character. Guy knew what would happen if he failed, and took his shot anyways. He had balls.
