Woody Harrelson´s father Charles was a guy with alleged mob connections. He was also suspected of somehow being involved with the JFK assassination.

You mean Rosanna Scotto who's father is Anthony Scotto who was an influential Gambino soldier. Gotti Sr replaced him on the docks with Anthony "Sonny" Ciccone.

Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?

Don't know about actors with mafiosi fathers, there are also cases in which the actors were gangsters themselves:
Louis Eppolito who appeared in "Goodfellas" was a hitman. There is also the Italian actor Giovanni Venosa from the film "Gomorra" who was arrested for being the acting boss for his uncle Luigi Venosa. Another example is the Russian gangster Vladimir Kumarin who played the French king Louis XIV in some movie (don't remember the title).


Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."

According to Danny DeVito, his father was a known bookmaker in the Asbury Park, NJ area. This he said while being a guest on the "Actor´s Stdudio Show".

Lots of intresting replys here guys ! In Pistone's book, The way of the wiseguy, he mentions that whilst shooting the movie he saw on old mobster he knew from his days undercover, his name was Albie. Anyway Albie got chatting to him and asked to get his son a part in the movie as he wanted to be an actor. Joe pistone had a word with the director and got him a part in the film. Do any of you guys know who this is ? Thanks guys.

Persistent internet rumor for years. But most gossip sites have gone out of their way to dispel it by saying that "Leah's father is named George, but shouldn't be confused with the Gambino capo."

For what it's worth, here's a partial quote and a link:

Leah Remini was born in Bensonhurst (Brooklyn), New York, to George Remini, owner of an asbestos company. Her father, originally from Sicily, is not to be confused with George Remini, the Caporegime of the Gambino Crime Family. Her mother Vicki Marshall, a former high school principal and current LA restaurant owner, is Jewish and originally from Austria. Her parents were divorced in 1977.

If you believe that clown is a made guy (in the Genovese family, no less), then I have a bridge to sell you tongue.

He's a self-promoting douchebag whose only claim to fame is being half-assed related to Tony Pro. If the guy wasn't such a joke, he'd probably be dead.

I thought it had been confirmed, but pizzaboy debunks it in his post above.

"Albie" may be Albert (last name unknown to me), a Colombo Family associate, who Pistone befriended and who introduced Pistone to Jilly Greca.

That's another guy I can't stand...that Danny Provenzano. I didn't even know who he was. I told this story on RD, but he approached me on fb, friend requested me. I kept asking him who he is. And he kept saying, "Don't you know who I am?" I kept saying, "well who the fuck are you?" And he was going on and on about how we're both in Jersey and he knows me or knows my husband, etc. I asked my husband, showed him Danny's profile and he had no clue who he was either. I told Danny we both have no idea who you are and he was like in disbelief or something. Seemed to be hung up on the phrase, "Don't you know who I am?" So, he saw a couple "Provenzano's" on my friends' list and said he must be related to them and that's how we know one another. Until I pointed out those guys live in Sicily...now what? Finally I blocked him. He was a real pain in my big fat ass and I still have no idea who he is.

I know this discussion is real old but the actress that just died a few years ago named Brittany Murphy is one. Her dad is Angelo Bertolotti a gambino soldier who back in the seventies got caught up in a heroin ring...Frank Lucas snitched Bertolotti and his associates.

I believe that I think some cops including Jose Pistone sued The film company that produced the movie "American Gangster" back in 2007/ Frank lies about a lot of shit

Yeah, I agree with Pizza Boy. Danny was a short Associate but was convicted of Racketeering which made Danny claim that he was a Made-Man and very connected, though he isnt even very well connected.
