I'll start with an honorary mention for the guy who played Butch De Concini in The Sopranos.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Tom Sizemore as Gotti in "Witness to the Mob," an otherwise dismal movie.
Chazz Palminteri in "Bronx Tale."

Classic gangsters (not necessarily wiseguys):
Rod Steiger in "Al Capone."
Edward G. Robinson in "Key Largo."
James Cagney in "White Heat."

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

I thought the guy that played Richie Aprile did a pretty good job.

I thought tony soprano’s friend from NYC was the most believable Johnny sacks

Some good picks Sicilian down south. Armand Asante had the walk down. I never saw anyone in any movie have the wise guy walk down so good. Never saw any actor actually do it in a movie except Asante.

DeNiro in Mean Streets.

"...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

Have you seen Mean streets lately. If not watch it again his street accent is fake.

It does it a lot better now.

Then watch the Steven Segal movie where he supposed to come from Brooklyn. His accent sounds the same as DeNiro when he did mean streets.
