The Godfather Trilogy: Cast & Character Guide (& Where The Cast Are Now)

The Godfather trilogy is a truly iconic film series, and part of its universal acclaim comes from The Godfather cast being made of all-star Hollywood actors and amazing newcomers. The mobster movie franchise is about the rise and fall of war-hero-turned-evil-gangster Michael Corleone, and it’s an endlessly captivating crime drama that’s had an influence on cinema for more than half a century. The first Godfather movie was released in 1972 and put writer-director Francis Ford Coppola on the map, The Godfather Part II was released in 1974 and is as good as, if not better than, the original, and the legacy sequel The Godfather Part III was released in 1990.
