Dead Actors Who Never Got the Recognition They Deserved

I’ve always been fascinated by John Cazale. It’s incredible that every single movie he was in – all five of them – were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars! He was just amazing. I remember being completely captivated by his portrayal of Fredo in ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Godfather Part II’ – he brought this really vulnerable, intense energy to the character. He was so good at showing weakness and desperation, which made him stand out against all the powerful people around him. He also gave unforgettable performances in films like ‘The Conversation’ and ‘Dog Day Afternoon,’ but sadly, he died young from lung cancer. Even though his filmography is small, it’s absolutely perfect and really shows how incredibly talented he was.

Games Whose Development Stories Are Crazier Than The Story Itself

This first-person shooter took fourteen years to make and became famous for how long it took.

He seriously thinks it’s going to be the best thing they’ve ever done, and he was complaining that no other studio understood his vision. It was hilarious!
