of Vito as, at the time, he was considered a temperamental, washed-up actor, who the studio refused to hire. And, for his part, Marlon initially wasn't interested and didn't really want to work.The film's director, Francis Ford Coopla, was dead set on casting either Marlon or Laurence Olivier as Vito. When he was told no to casting Marlon by Paramount’s then-president, Stanley Jaffe, Francis faked a stress-induced epilepsy in Jaffe's office.
Marlon's personal secretary, Alice Marchak, knew that he needed to work because he was deeply in debt, so she bought a subscription to the Hollywood Reporter to keep tabs on potential roles for him. However he caught her reading it one day and got mad that she would bring"movie magazines into his house.
Eventually, he agreed to it, however Francis knew he would need to screen test him in order to cast him . So he devised a plan in which he didn't tell him it was a screen test, but instead told Marlon that he wanted to come over to his house to try somethings for the camera, experiment a bit, and try some improvisation. And that worked.
When Francis finally did the not-a-screen-test-at-all at Marlon's house, he saw the 47-year-old Marlon transform into Vito in front of his eyes, as he smeared black shoe polish on his blonde hair to give it a darker and greased back look, give himself shoe polish mustache, and put wads of Kleenex into his cheeks to give himself an appearance of a bulldog. The rest, of course, was movie history.
