Another thing. Guys like Tony Mirra, Gaspipe Casso, Felix Alderisio all had larger than life personalities. I'm sure plenty of the mob leaders today do as well, but I don't feel like I can know until 10 years from now.
Joey Merlino is the most recent over-the-top larger-than-life character I can think of, and he went away about ten years ago.
Some of the guys in Family Secrets were pretty distinct characters, but they were from another era.
