Trump Compared to Fredo often - Brief Bio on late actor who portrayed Fredo

To this day, the character is an unwelcome comparison for any individual. Essentially, a “Fredo” is a weak link, a dimwit incapable of overcoming his intellectual shortcomings. Naturally, it took one of Hollywood’s greatest — and most overlooked — actors to portray him. And when it came to the craft of acting, John Cazale was no Fredo. By the time of his death 40 years ago, Cazale had appeared in only five full-length feature films. Remarkably, all of them received an Academy Award nomination for best picture, and three won the top prize (The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Deer Hunter).
