One character in The Godfather was supposed to be totally different - but Francis Ford Coppola's changes made the performance far better.
The Godfather is full of incredible performances from some of Hollywood's best actors at the time, but one actor required movie changes to make his role work. The opening wedding sequence sees Connie Corleone celebrating her marriage to Carlo Rizzi , but it also features countless meetings for Vito Corleone , as he famously can't refuse a request on the day of his daughter's wedding.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the original The Godfather book, Luca is a terrifying assassin and absolutely not to be messed with. That character was set up in the movie, as Michael tells Kay about his violent work with Vito. However, he isn't the fearful enforcer in the 1972 release, as he's a nervous wreck and stutters his lines around Vito.
How The Godfather Covered Up Lenny Montana's Acting Nerves Audiences are introduced to Luca when Michael spots him in a quiet corner of the garden reciting his "thank you" speech to Vito. In the shot, Luca is clearly nervous while attempting to memorize the lines he's about to deliver to the mafia don. However, that shot was never originally planned or in the screenplay.
The scene couldn't simply be cut out, as it is instrumental in setting up the feud with the Tattaglias. However, Coppola came up with the idea to shoot the scene of Luca practicing his lines and what he intends to say to Vito, and insert it into the film moments before the meeting, which would establish how nervous of a character he is. Though it would ultimately completely change the foundation of the character, it was the only way Montana's scene with Brando was remotely usable.
Montana's The Godfather Acting Nerves Made Luca Brasi Better Luca Brasi deserves his own origin story and is a brutal hitman in the novel of The Godfather, but Coppola softened him, and he wasn't anywhere near the kind of threat the book makes him out to be. However, so many characters in The Godfather have the exact same traits, as there are so many quiet-but-strong types.
