Trivia Edit. 1  Robert De Niro auditioned for the role of Sonny Corleone in The Godfather. 2  He was given the role of Paulie Gatto, but was traded to the film The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight for Al Pacino.
He's only one-quarter Italian in ancestry. He was, however, quite close to his Italian paternal grandfather, whom Robert visited frequently in Syracuse, NY when he was young, so he probably learned some Italian from him. De Niro has stated that he identifies more with [his] Italian side. His birth name is Robert MARIO De Niro Jr., by the way. For his role as Vito Corleone in the Godfather 2, he had to spent four months learning to speak the Sicilian dialect.
