Hyman Roth

Most of you know who Hyman Roth is. He was the main antagonist in Godfather II, superbly played by Lee Strasberg. Roth was a jewish mobster who did business with Vito Corleone who, as was pointed out in the movie, “did business with Hyman Roth, respected Hyman Roth, but never trusted Hyman Roth”.

He was a sickly man in his later years, but apparently still strong as an ox.

Nevertheless, he suffers from a condition not uncommon to men of his age.

But the best line is one perhaps repeated the most. Certainly something I’ve been known to say on multiple occasions, when things may not have been going my way.

Ultimately, he met his match with the Godfather. Although, he was just a retired investor, living on a pension.
