Martin Scorsese needed his Zbigniew Cybulski and he found him in Harvey Keitel, of Polish heritage. Dustin Hoffman was rooming with who ... (Gene Hackman, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Duvall?) Meanwhile, two young actors, from New York and Ohio, were making waves ...
"We were rooming together, me and Martin Sheen. We used to clean up the stage and wash the halls. Marty got to play in 'The Connection', and he was outstanding. I remember sitting in the back every night, watching the plays. Everything was happening in The Village at that time, all these different kinds of groups. The cafe theaters where you did 16 performances a week, and you passed the basket, and that's how you lived. That environment fed you, and you wanted to be there ... I think that's where I learned everything."
- Al Pacino, The Vulture

I think Al was considered to play Willard for Apocalypse Now before Martin Sheen got the part.

And Martin Sheen auditioned for the role on Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather' (1972).

Considering that Sheen suffered a heart attack, Pacino was right.
