My Take
Gastone Moschin earns my deep respect for a single unforgettable scene: Don Fanucci in his white suit in The Godfather Part II. With just minutes of screen time he carved his name into film history, which is the true mark of a master character actor. At home in Italy he ranged from the icy gangster of Caliber 9 to directing theatre, backed by stage-trained physical command and a well-earned Nastro d'Argento. He passed in 2017, but for me the shadow of that hat still looms. Moschin taught me what dignity in a supporting role really looks like.
