John Aprea, ‘Godfather Part II’ and ‘Full House’ Actor, Dies at 83
Jorn Aprea, who starred in "Godfather 2," “Full House” and "Bullitt," died Monday
After his splashy debut, Aprea found acting work on sets for the 1970s TV series “Mannix,” the 1970s film “The Grasshopper,” and Jonathan Demme’s 1974 feature, “Caged Heat.” John’s career took off when he was cast as the young Tessio in Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather Part II.” Before taking on the role, he reportedly reached out to Abe Vigoda, who played the older version of the character in the first film, for advice. The actor continued working late into his career including playing Don Armeteo in the 1991 feature “New Jack City,” directed by Mario Van Peebles, and landing roles on “NYPD Blue,” “CSI,” and “The Sopranos.”
