Ah, correction, sir! Just spotted this comment so I'll just add: everyone (or at least most) knew Cazale was dying, De Niro personally guaranteed him for insurance purposes, according to Meryl Streep. Not to mention that he was losing his hair and they had to shoot around his treatments. I think a lot of those long lingering shots of Cazale doing things like checking himself out in the mirror and perhaps even the sheer length of the wedding scene was simply to document more of his acting since the character is relatively minor. Giving him the little scene where he goes up to Meryl Streep and talks about Nick, giving them that little scene together. I could be totally wrong! But that has started to go through my head during more recent rewatches. According to Streep, De Niro was really generous in stepping up and guaranteeing him with his own money. There's a very expensive book about the making of The Deer Hunter that came out a couple of years ago with De Niro's full co-operation, I'm dying to get it. There's also a new one about the Making of The Shining that is mindblowing, with new extensive interviews with Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd and access to all of Kubrick's materials. Everything you think you know about the making of the Shining you can throw out the window! Many mysteries solved! There are some great Q&As with the author, where he does a great slide show. One was at AFI, I think that was the best one.

FYI, during the movie, John Cazale and Meryl Streep were dating and they were the only two who knew that John Cazale was dying of cancer but John wanted to finish the movie anyway.
