Favorite gangster personality, fictional or otherwise

[TheSpokenWheel]

Mesrine was pretty badass.

 

[Slaughtersun]

Eddie Coyle

 

[TheAdmiral]

 

[winterwarz]

Prince Kheldar aka Silk from the Belgariad and Mallorean written by David Eddings. He played a major role in the underground trades and was the foremost spy of his time, pure fiction but a great character, my personal best.


My popular pick goes to Robert DeNiro as Vito Corleone from the Godfather II.

 

[Galactic]

never mind.

 

[BadNewsBewes]

Carlito Brigante

 

[BlueBalls]

 

[LukeEl]

Boss Hogg, the man could wear an all white suit and make it look good.

Here are a couple more favorites courtesy of Denzel.

Alonzo Harris - "You're in the office, baby."; "This shit's chess, it ain't checkers"

Frank Lucas

:clap:

Roland Bishop

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant.

 

[siffert]

Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri

 

[Facetious]

great choices!

How about Christopher Walken in the '93 thriller "True Romance".
Great dialog here...

 

[Mr. Numb3rs]

For me, it has to be Bricktop from Snatch, he's a ruthles fella.

 

[maildude]

Tony Montana. I'm talking about Pacino in Scarface. Not Tony Montana the porn star. He was a jag-off. Nobody who looks like him deserves to fuck Jennifer Stewart AND Rikki Lee.

Then there's John Santucci, a crook turned actor then back to crook (best known for Crime Story in the 80s. Dennis Farina really arrested him while he was a Chicago police officer in the 60s)

[StanScratch]

Vito and Michael Corleon. Michael gets the bigger nod...anyone that can call for the hit on his own brother...

Hmmm, no real gangsters yet?! As far as real life gangsters go, I've always been interested in the history of Carlo Gambino myself.

I'm also somewhat surprised no one mentioned "Lucky" Luciano or that guy from the Chicago Syndicate.

Mister Capone should never be referred to as "that guy"!

 

[LukeEl]

The Kingpin, he runs the criminal underworld of the Marvel universe.
