My Take

Frank Vincent had one of the most recognizable faces in the gangster genre, even if casual viewers never knew his name. His feud with Joe Pesci across 'Raging Bull,' 'Goodfellas' and 'Casino' is basically a running saga of its own, and that 'Goodfellas' shoeshine line he sets up is one of cinema's most quoted moments. Then he capped it off as Phil Leotardo on 'The Sopranos,' bringing a cold, old-school menace that the show desperately needed in its final act. He started as a musician and never lost that performer's timing. A consummate character actor who elevated everything he touched.

Overview

Frank Vincent (1937-2017) was an American actor and musician known for portraying tough Italian-American characters in crime dramas. He appeared in several Martin Scorsese films including 'Raging Bull,' 'Goodfellas' and 'Casino,' and is especially remembered as mob boss Phil Leotardo on HBO's 'The Sopranos.' Before acting he worked as a musician, and he later authored a book on etiquette for men.
