Don Cardi

I think he means what actors have connections with real mob guys....

Pappo, add DeNiro (and maybe other Part II characters). I think DeNiro did some street work in his kid-years.

Yes Juventus, Don Cardi I mean the actors, the real people, not about what character is based on the real mafia guys.
I mean, for example, Marlon Brando, not Vito Corleone, I wanna know if the actors have relationship with real people in the Mafia.

Does anybody know about it?

The guy that plays carlo rizzi claims to have a close relationship with mobbed up guys....some pretty high up guys...go to the real-life maifa board and look around for
hold on

Actually it's in the Godfather triology part in the "I met Carlo Rizzi" board.
Check it out it's a pretty interesting story



Joe Batters

Lenny Montana (Luca Brasi) was an occasional strong-arm "loan collector" when he wasn't wrestling.


Also, Al Martino (Johnny Fontane) was connected to the mob.
One story he tells:
"A few underworld figures from New York came to Philly to see my manager, to make him an offer he couldn't refuse.
My manager stepped aside after he was threatened. So, now these figures became my managers."
Later, Martino reveals that one of these figures was the notorious Albert Anastasia, whose murder in 1958 (while sitting in a barber's chair in New York) was irrefutable proof to the Kefauver Commission that the long-rumored existence of Italian crime families was true.
"I exiled myself to England, because I signed a note based on assumed future earnings that I couldn't pay off, after I fired these guys," says Martino. "Had to stay there for seven years, out of sight out of mind, career over in
America, I thought ...
The Don of Philadelphia, Angelo Bruno, negotiated a deal
with Anastasia for me to come back, and with Albert gone, deal gone."
