I don't like a lot of the Cazale movies as I'm not a FFC fan, but I can't deny he was a great actor (taken too soon), and I love everything and everyone in Dog Day Afternoon and that includes him. I've liked a lot of Wood films too though so it was a hard choice.
He was only in 5 movies and they are all classics and rated as some of the best movies ever made. He was terminally ill while making The Deer Hunter, and the production company wanted to fire him because of the insurance costs. Meryl Streep, who was his girlfriend at the time threatened to quit the movie over it and DeNiro apparently paid the insurance. He died soon enough after that.
Dog Day Afternoon is just an amazing film and he is brilliant in it.
Famous for triggering Builebeag in her own game!
