It's kind of weird, but Joe Pesci was a lot closer physically to the book's description of Luca Brasi than Lenny Montana, and Pesci ended up carving a out a major career by playing Brasi-like characters over and over.
Jimmy Cagney would have been a good novel Brasi, and I think Richard Attenborough if he could shake the British accent.
