Massive Genius, aka "Massive G", played by Bokeem Woodbine. He was in a few so-so '90s hood flicks. Finally hit the big time just last year as Mike Milligan in Fargo.

Massive G was a great role. It's too bad Woodbine's career didn't take off after that. Despite the obvious animosity between the mafia and blacks, you got the feeling that Tony's crew actually liked G, sans probably Paulie. He understood business, believed in making money for everyone and gave the impression he would kill if he had to. Just imagine him being Italian and not black. Tony would have brought him in and probably put him above Chrissy.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
