Anecdotes

Veteran character heavy whose leathery, sinister looks typecast him as a mobster on film and TV. Best remembered as Frank Nitti on Les incorruptibles (1959).

With his visage and his size (almost 6 foot), his recurring role as Frank NItti on "The Untouchables" (1959) TV series created a memorable image of the real life gangster. In reality, the real Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti was slightly under 5' 5" tall.
