  Hyman Roth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyman Roth (1892-1959) is a fictional character (based heavily on real-life gangster Meyer Lansky), who plays a pivotal role in the film The Godfather Part II.
As of Godfather II, Hyman Roth has long been a friend and associate of the Corleone family, though he is not mentioned in the first film or in the book on which it is based.
Roth worked diligently for the Corleone Family during Prohibition, and was a close friend and ally of Moe Greene, a character based on Bugsy Siegel, the "inventor" of Las Vegas.

Hyman Roth not only became a seminal character in motion picture history, but a triumphant milestone in Strasberg's own acting and teaching career.
Strasberg's singular performance was proof positive that the master of the Method could not only practice what he preached, but he single-handedly dispelled any truth to the adage that those who can't act, teach.
Coppola was impressed with his practical approach to the role of Hyman Roth and Strasberg affirmed there is no madness to his Method.

Interestingly, the film was also the debut of Lee Strasberg playing the Jewish mobster Hyman Roth.
Using acting schools, theatrical productions and on-going relationships with various actors and actresses beginning in the 1930s and continuing through his death, Strasberg exerted an extraordinary influence on two generations of stage and screen actors.
His Hyman Roth also demonstrates the increasingly global business pursuits of the Corleone family in that his non-Sicilian ancestry and more coldly calculated weighing of human value versus business interests weighs in as an important lesson for Michael.

But Dominic Chianese, who plays figurehead mob boss Junior -- the uncle of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), the brother-in-law of Tony's mother, Livia (Nancy Marchand), and her partner in betraying Tony -- is a bona fide "Godfather" icon who got to deliver one of the saga's key speeches.
Even 26 years ago, Chianese was cast in a role the script describes as "an older Italian," though there's a springy elegance to his acting.
His nephew considers him a trouble-making mannequin who pulls off petty tricks like taxing this mob's Hyman Roth, Hesh (Jerry Adler), to buttress his own pride.

Michael's scariest moment: It's not one of his tantrums; they make you sit bolt upright, but he's at his absolute most sinister when, as he embraces Fredo at their mother's funeral, he looks up slowly and makes eye contact with Rocco.
Easy choice: "Your father did business with Hyman Roth, your father respected Hyman Roth, but your father never trusted Hyman Roth--or his Sicilian messenger-boy, Johnny Ola." Most shattering moment: Bookends: Michael's "You broke my heart, Fredo" kiss of death, brought full circle by his forgiving embrace of Fredo at Mama Corleone's funeral (see above).
Three people to watch for: The easiest to pick out is Roger Corman as one of the senators on the investigatory panel--Corman was fairly well known when the film was made, so that counts as a cameo.

 ACT NOW!! Media Ownership Rules in Serious Jeopardy : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The best way to grasp how the communications law was passed is to imagine the classic scene from The Godfather II, when Hyman Roth, Michael Corleone and several other American gangsters meet on a rooftop in Havana to divide up the island between them in pre-Castro Cuba.
The public played no role in the Telecom Act, and it received virtually no news media coverage, except in the business and trade press where it was covered as an issue of importance to owners and investors, not citizens in a democracy.
The powerful lobbies--much like Roth and Corleone--were duking it out with each other for the largest slice of the cake, but they all agreed that the public had no right to participate in the process.
