You should see him in The Getaway with Steve McQueen. He’s truly menacing. Great movie.

His voice and delivery were superb. His scene speaking Italian with no subtitles was awesome!

You posted the name so I looked up his wiki and it said he was born in 1928. “Oh thank god, 1928 was waaay before the Godfather, so the title was just a joke.”

Then I did the math. Jesus he really was only in his mid-40s in that picture. He died at 47. From a heart attack. At 47. I’m almost 47.

He was evidently quite an enthusiast of the, erm…more interesting pharmaceuticals, which might explain a fatal heart attack at that age, even given the fact that he probably smoked like a chimney and drank all the liquor.
