Most Convincing Portrayal of a Wiseguy

I'll start with an honorary mention for the guy who played Butch De Concini in The Sopranos.

Al Pacino as Lefty in Donnie Brasco.

Tom Sizemore as Gotti in "Witness to the Mob," an otherwise dismal movie.
Chazz Palminteri in "Bronx Tale."

Classic gangsters (not necessarily wiseguys):
Rod Steiger in "Al Capone."
Edward G. Robinson in "Key Largo."
James Cagney in "White Heat."

also phil and richie

I thought the guy that played Richie Aprile did a pretty good job.

^^^ Have to agree Jimmy

The mob boss, Boiardo, in State of Grace. Vito Genovese in The Valachi Papers. The mob characters in Prince of the City.

Johnny Boy Soprano, Richie April, and Johnny Sac from the Sopranos. Nicky Santoro and Frank Marino from Casino. Tommy D and Jimmy Burk from Goodfellas. Armand Assante from Gotti.

I thought tony soprano’s friend from NYC was the most believable Johnny sacks

Some good picks Sicilian down south. Armand Asante had the walk down. I never saw anyone in any movie have the wise guy walk down so good. Never saw any actor actually do it in a movie except Asante.

DeNiro in Mean Streets.

Have you seen Mean streets lately. If not watch it again his street accent is fake.

It does it a lot better now.

Then watch the Steven Segal movie where he supposed to come from Brooklyn. His accent sounds the same as DeNiro when he did mean streets.

I'M GONNA PAY HIIIIIIIIM!!!!!
