What Happened To John Cazale?

John Cazale boasts a brief yet flawless and prestigious film career, one that allowed the actor to make an indelible mark on history, despite being taken too young. The “New Hollywood” era, which hit its full stride with the creator-driven studio films of the 1970s, introduced audiences to some of the greatest screen actors of all time. The likes of Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Gene Hackman all came up alongside one another in the 1970s, among other legendary actors who have gone on to become true Hollywood legends. It’s no mean feat to hold one’s own against these actors, but John Cazale did it five times.
