Sylvester Stallone[/B] lost an extra role in the legendary film The Godfather because the studio wasn't sure he was the right "guy" for the part. Stallone even said he went to the production himself and asked for the role.
The 76-year-old actor revealed in an interview with Empire how he asked Paramount if he could be in the background of the film's wedding scene.
"In the scene, Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) is throwing a huge wedding for his daughter Connie (Talia Shire) at the family's lavish estate. I went to Paramount and said, 'Can I be an extra in the wedding scene?" the Rocky star said. "They said, 'We don't know if you're the right guy. I told them, I'm not the guy? To play in the background, hiding behind a wedding cake?"
The Godfather celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and starred Brando, Shire, Al Pacino, Robert Duval and James Caan, who passed away earlier this year. Stallone eventually worked with Shire on the successful Rocky films.
"Everything comes to those who know how to wait," Stallone said."
