“Why not Will Smith?”

I was thinking of the talentless, ignorant, rat-faced Chris Rock.

Along with rewriting Mafia history with “diversity”, we could also add in-your-face, arrogant racism.

Did the Dapper Don like to play Tickle the Pickle too?

enter the Church of Scientology who tells John his guilt is because of Thetans, or whatever, he is so vulnerable that he falls for it.

Or just 'makes' (convinces) himself to believe it in order to better deal with the situation.

Victoria has a potty mouht. Was she a prostitute before marrying Gotti?

From her ,mouth I would say $2.00 was her asking price.

Gotti was a criminal, vile thug. Paul Sorvino is simply a blowhard. I know this. He once told me he was going to star at The Met in a production of “Rigoletto.” I’m still waiting for THAT to come off...

I’ve heard the gay rumors about Travolta for years. But I also have read that these accusations against him are falling apart.

I don’t think he was lying; he was just fantasizing...I guess. He really thinks he’s an opera singer. He has a nice little voice which has served him well in some short-lived musicals...but fill the hall of The Met???

And in case I misunderstood your post, I really heard him say this.

OK, I played Fredo. Does it make me less of a beautiful human being? No. . . . Leave me the (expletive deleted by mod) alone. At least I wasn't a frocio.

No, you understood it completely. It was meant to indicate that he must have been ... how to say it ... inflating his abilities, just a little bit ...

Well, that would be to his benefit in terms of playing the role of Gotti. Gotti was a braggart. Very outgoing and talkative. A showoff. Sorvino is comparatively low key. He comes across as a nice guy, at least in his films. He might have a difficult time trying to portray someone as mean-hearted and big-mouthed as Gotti. His character in Good Fellas, for example, was not a Gotti-type guy.

If Scorcese makes the movie, he can cast Leonardo DiCaprio as Gotti.

He'll cast DiCaprio as anybody. I think he's playing a seven-year-old Asian girl in Marty's next film.

“BTW, it was the success of this movie that convinced HBO to greenlight The Sopranos. In fact, many of the actors in “Gotti” ended playing key roles in the series (Uncle Junior, Paulie Walnuts, Big Pussy and others).”

Most of those actors were on NBC’s “Married to the Mob” as well, also a depiction of Gotti and Gravano’s rise and fall. It’s like there’s a shortage of Italian actors, and they also play mafia guys.
