Outlaw

The Resume

    (July 12, 1914-1988)
    Caporegime for the Lucchese Crime Family
    Basis for the Paul Cicero character in 'Goodfellas'

Why he might be annoying:

    He introduced several children, including Henry Hill, into lives of crime.
    He was once called 'one of the most violent and dangerous career criminals in New York City.'
    He was extremely paranoid and refused to have a phone in his house.
    He preferred to communicate with associates only in little nods and grunts.
    He was know as 'Big Paulie.'
    He weighed 250 pounds, but his narrow bone structure made him look even fatter.
    He had horrible table manners.
    He ratted on Tommy DeSimone to the Gambino Crime family.
    He committed adultery with Henry Hill's wife.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was betrayed by one of his former best friends.
    He was reportedly a great cook.
    He owned a number of legitimate businesses in New York.
    In his prime, he earned $25,000 a day.
    He had great diplomatic skills and kept several rival families from going to war.
    In an odd irony, he once made his entire crew go to see 'Mean Streets' by Martin Scorcese, citing it as one of his favorite movies.
    He was portrayed in 'Goodfellas' by Paul Sorvino.
    He died in prison.
