Fredo Corleone | The Godfather

American actor John Cazale portrays Frederico "Fredo" Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 adaptation of The Godfather and its 1974 sequel, The Godfather Part II.

He is the second son of Mafia don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro). Fredo has Corleone siblings Sonny (James Caan), Michael (Al Pacino), younger sister Connie (Talia Shire), and Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) as his unofficial adopted brother.

Weaker and less intelligent than his brothers, Fredo Corleone had little power or position in the Corleone crime family.

When assassins shot down godfather Vito Corleone on the street, Fredo was also with his father. However, Fredo was too scared, dropped the gun, and could not shoot back. He sat on the curb next to his seriously injured father and cried.

In The Godfather, Part II, Michael, Fredo, and Roth flew to Cuba to form a business partnership with Fulgencio Batista to open casinos in Cuba. Here, Michael was assassinated. Fredo traveled to Cuba to meet Michael and was informed that Roth was behind the murder and assured that "Hyman Roth will not live until next year." But then Michael realized that it was Fredo who had betrayed him. At the year-end party hosted by Batista, Michael grabbed Fredo's head, kissed him, and said, "I knew it was you; you let me down!". At the same time, the guerrillas began to attack Havana; the party guests quickly fled; although Michael begged Fredo to run away with him because Fredo was his brother anyway, Fredo still refused.
