Don Michael Corleone is the titular main protagonist of Mario Puzo's 1969 crime novel The Godfather and Francis Ford Coppola's film trilogy of the same name as well as the deuteragonist of the novel's 1984 sequel The Sicilian. Born in 1920, Michael is the youngest son of Don Vito Corleone. He is also the younger brother of Sonny and Fredo, the adoptive brother of Tom Hagen and the older brother of Connie Corleone. While initially wanting nothing to do with the "family business", he later succeeds his father as Godfather of the Corleone Family following Vito's retirement and death. Thanks to Michael's expert manoeuvring, all of the Family's enemies and rivals are killed and the Corleone Family becomes the most powerful Mafia family in New York City. Michael tries to turn the family into a legitimate enterprise, but his ruthlessness and obsession with revenge keeps him in the criminal underworld - and ultimately destroys his family and his life. In the trilogy, he was portrayed by Al Pacino, who was twice nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Michael (Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather, and Best Actor for The Godfather Part II), who also played Tony Montana in Scarface, and Jimmy Hoffa in The Irishman. As a child, he was portrayed by Louis Marino.
