Hyman Roth is introduced in The Godfather Part 2, and is based on Meyer Lansky also known as “the mob's accountant”. His partnership with Don Vito mimics that of the relationship that Meyer Lansky had with Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello, who also happen to be the primary inspirations for the character of the don. Lansky was a financial genius, both in real life and in the godfather, Many big names among the families greatly valued his counsel. In fact, the line “We’re bigger than US Steel,” uttered by Roth in the film, has long been attributed to Lansky.
Coppola cast Lenny Montana as Luca Brasi after Joe Colombo visited the set, Montana was the gangster’s actual bodyguard,. However, like we discussed in Part One. The former pro wrestler was so nervous about acting in a scene with Brando that he botched every take and the director added a snippet of caught footage of Montana rehearsing his lines to make it seem like Luca was nervous about taking up the Godfather’s time on the day of his daughter’s wedding, Brasi, is the guy who held a gun to a bandleader’s head while Vito Corleone assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on a contract releasing Johnny Fontane from fronting the band.
In Real life it was Willie Moretti.
In the Godfather 2, Michael travels to Cuba to forge a major deal with Hyman Roth AND his associates. This historic deal, would propel the Corleone family and all participants into a new level. This was a major storyline in the film, and definitely one of the most intriguing, as it was brilliantly written, directed and acted by all those involved. But what elevates this storyline and theme, setting it apart from all the others is its basis and inspiration in reality
Now there is a lot of debate on the truth behind the real inspiration behind the character of The Godfather himself, and it's actually a lot more interesting than what most people think.
Portrayed by Marlon Brando, the character of Vito was actually a combination of a few mob bosses. Let start with the real-life mobster Joe Profaci, both had an olive oil business to serve as a front kept his circle small and intimate. Then we have Carlo Gambino, where both have had a reputation for being modest, under-the-radar figures, while still maintaining an aura of power. However, the Godfather character is most similar to real-life mobster Frank Costello, who was strategic, reasonable and known as "The Prime Minister" of the mob because of his wise counsel. Like Costello, Don Vito used his diplomatic skills and connections to influential businessmen, judges, politicians and the police to keep his power in place
