As you watch mob movies or tv shows (Soprano's) you notice a difference when it comes to charisma and flash when compared with gangsters in real life. Sure you had guys like John Gotti, Tommy Pitera, and Anthony Casso, which all three could have starred in their own Hollywood gangster films and been stars. But overall , the mafioso in real life are very different than the characters in Hollywood.
Discuss.

Yeah I heard that as well.
But when it comes to charisma and flash, I don't really look at guys like The Chin as being someone that I go "Wow, look at that cool SOB."
Now Tony Soprano on the other hand is someone that I wouldn't mind having a beer with and hangin out at the Bing. Know what I mean?

Funny you mention Paulie Walnuts, played by Tony Sirico who as a young man was a thug with affiliation to the Colombo crime family who spend some time in jail.

sirico was no wiseguy. he is a 'playground gangster' lol. he cant 'hang' with the big dogs.
long story short, wiseguys in person are just boring,fat, lazy,ugly italians. if yous find that exciting lol, your nuts. Maye I ask did you happen to work at a strip club in the 70's as a dancer since you want peoplet o sit on your face are your a retired hooker?

They even referenced that in the show. Paulie explains to Christopher that he was hanging on "by the skin of his balls in the seventies during the Colombo thing". Sirico knew that life. It's why he played a wiseguy so well in the show. You really believe that shit?

He's even been looked at recently for a murder out in L.A. I saw him in Prospect Park wearing a cape! Fashionable Guinea. People love, that's for sure. He's close to Jimmy Clemenza.

@ Sit on face guy - Italian's arent lazy, If you find the good history about Italians then you'll be shocked. Many politicans are of Italian like Rudy Giuliani and all of that. Italian's who founded La Cosa Nostra is a very rare foundation. Millions or even Billions which is made through life long loyalty.
Smoking weed, Nah. my mother was napolitan.my father came over from palermo as a boy. we come from the same village as carlo gambino. my grandfather was compares with one of the inzerillos. he lived in sicily until his death. ive lived in bensonhurst my entire life. ive married an italian woman. ive had italian kids. trust me friend, i know italians.lol. but to clarify i was refering to wiseguys. and the guys around them. if they were to be reincarnated, they would come back as a leech.lol.

Sit - my family history is the same... maternal side from Naples and paternal from Palermo. Makes a great combination if I say so myself! sit.lol. if i knew i would be on this forum so much iwould have chosen a different name.lol. yes my grandfather lived in palermo his entire life. all but one of his children left for america. my mothers side is from montiforte. it is very close to avellino [made famous by the sopranos] and about 10 min from mount vesuvius. beautiful landscape, but it has really taken a turn for the worse as of lately.
