When he switched to Lefty, he recommended Johnny Depp. To prepare for his role, Johnny Depp met with the actual Joseph D. Pistone several times, and took shooting lessons from the FBI. Joseph D. Pistone claimed that the movie is 85 percent accurate. "It portrayed the mob the way it is." FORTIS FORTUNA IUVAT

From pics on the site tue guy did like his clothes. Depp was a poor choice just doesnt come across as a tuff guy love him as jack sparrow but leave the gangster roles alone. Black mass was such a snooze.
