He reminds me more of the Pillsbury Donut Boy. BTW How is your daddy Sonthaya. I am certain he is much more comfortable since uncle TS has stepped in to take care of him

Porky.... do you need to look cultured to be a Godfather II? The Godfather I surely doesn't look cultured too but still he has made himself a REAL Godfather! The Godfather II come automatically past down from the father!!! Like father like son!

Believe it. One won't be called GODFATHER for nothing. Just like the Movie "The Godfather", this is "The Godfather II". The Thai version of 1972 classic "The Godfather" movies acted by Marlon Brando & Al Pacino.
