The actor who played Moe Greene, Alex Rocco, is widely believed to have based the character on real-life casino boss Bugsy Siegel, who played a major role in transforming Las Vegas into the gambling capital of America.
Director Francis Ford Coppola deliberately kept Michael seated throughout the conversation to emphasize the shift in power. In Hollywood filmmaking of that era, failing to stand and greet someone of higher status was considered a serious sign of disrespect.
Interestingly, Al Pacino was still a relatively unknown actor at the time. The studio had wanted to replace him with a bigger star, but quiet, controlled scenes like this ultimately convinced audiences that he was born to play Michael Corleone.
