This character actor, a favorite of directors Sam Peckinpah and Francis Ford Coppola, also appeared in films by Sergio Leone and Robert Wise. Name him.

Clint Eastwood is my choice.

Richard Bright. He was in two of the GODFATHER movies, a couple of Peckipah films, and movies directed by the other two (including ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW, which figured in another clue). He was struck by a bus and killed in NYC in 2006.
