After Sonny Corleone, his roll as Coach Sam Winters in The Program is one of my favorites (which I quoted on the main board recently).

First 2 movies I thought of were The Godfather and Thief. The women around me all said Elf.

Brian's Song.

And he was very good in the series Las Vegas

[Johnny Mac]

he was kind of a d!ck though.. met him at a grand opening of a Planet Hollywood in Atlanta many years ago... chatted with for a bit... he was grumbly, not even remotely cordial. I asked for his autograph for JtS who is a HUUUGGGEE Godfather fan... I asked if he could sign it "Sonny".. and he's like "you can write that if you want"

I understand an actor doesn't like to be remembered for just one role, but come on... who mentions any of his roles BEFORE you say "Sonny Corleone?"

He was also great in the original Rollerball, a highly underrated movie.

The Godfather and The Rain People. Both FF Coppola movies (2 of his better ones). And the two had been friends since age 20ish (met in film school).
