IMO, Michael V. Gazzo as Frankie made GFII. One of the best characters in any movie ever. He was "Everyman as caporegime": that well-meaning, confused attitude, holding onto traditional notions while the world of Big-Business Mafia passed him by. Most telling scene: "Michael, I don't have your head for the..ah..big deals. But why don't we hit 'em now, while we got the muscle?" Brilliant!
