That Guy Actor of the Week: Frank Sivero
It’s nearly impossible not to recognize this guy when you see him because he couldn’t get any more Italian if he tried. I mean come on. That might be considered stereotyping but Frank Sivero has never playing anything but a stereotyped Italian guy.
All of you probably recognize him from Goodfellas but Sivero’s been around much longer than that. He was in Godfather II where he played a friend to a young Don Corleone (played by Robert Da Niro).
I happened to like Sivero in the Wedding Singer because he got out of his element a little bit. Anyway, Sivero’s been in nearly 50 titles, all of which in some way exploit his Italian heritage.

This seems like the guy that one of Fat Tony’s henchmen was based off from the Simpsons. http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Louie_%28mafia%29
