Which Hollywood Mob Actors Could’ve Survived That Life? Ex-Capo Decides
🍕 Celebrate My 75th birthday with Slices Pizza, a Bottle of Franzese wine, and a Special Seat at my table!: http://celebrate.michaelfranzese.com 🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ I spent over 20 years in that life. I know exactly what it takes to survive — and what gets you killed. So when I watch these Hollywood actors play mob roles, I always ask myself the same question: could they have actually made it on the street? In this one, I take 24 of the most iconic mob actors ever — Brando, Pacino, De Niro, Pesci, Gandolfini, Sirico, Stallone, Imperioli, Cillian Murphy, all of them — and I put them in three categories: Made Man, Survivor, or Forget About It. Some of these guys I knew personally. Some I only know by reputation. But you might be surprised who I think could have actually pulled it off — and who wouldn’t have lasted a week. Tell me in the comments who you think I got right and who I got wrong. Which Hollywood Mob Actors Could’ve Survived That Life?
