AKA, Nicky in Casino. 5' 7" or 5' 8" if you ask me. Here is a video of him walking next to Oscar Goodman. Google is wrong.

He's definitely shorter than everyone else around him.

Joe Pesci was the perfect match for him. Tommy DeSimone on the other hand was kinda tall it seems.

You couldn't be more right about this: Pesci absolutely nailed this guy's walk, tone of voice, you name it. Most cinema goers wouldn't have known who the character was based on and just how dead-on Pesci's portrayal really was. It would rank up with the highest of any cinematic portrayal of a historical figure; and any I can think of in fact I would say Pesci puts to shame.

Pesci is one incredibly underrated actor who got pigeonholed in the mob genre - but he does it so well. Just how well isn't fully appreciated.

I always wanted to know who the guy in the white pants is in that video that says- in an epic Chicago accent- "make sure you don't get hit by da carrrr."

Fairly certain that is one of the Ballogs - David or Mark Ballog. Vito Raimondi - son off Matt Raimondi who was a Grand Ave bookmaker is also walking with them.
