People Are Talking About Actors Whose Final Film Was A Fitting End To A Long Career, And It's Quite Emotional

"You know, in terms of consistent quality, John Cazale is the greatest American actor to ever live. This is of course a bit tongue in cheek, but look at this filmography:

The Godfather — won best picture

The Godfather Part II — won best picture

The Conversation — nominated for best picture

Dog Day Afternoon  — nominated for best picture

The Deer Hunter — won best picture

Here’s the thing: those were the only five films he was ever in."

"It's completely bonkers. Every actor dreams of being in a film as good as any of the ones on that list. The vast majority of actors never come close to fulfilling that dream. He did it five times... and that was it.

Such a strange anomaly of a career. And such a tragic loss for film. If he'd survived cancer, I have very little doubt he would've gone down as one of the true greats of cinema."
