Known for such classics as The Godfather Part II, Do the Right Thing, Moonstruck and Harlem Nights, Aiello passed away this morning at the age of 86. May he RIP. CryCryCryCry

I remember him from a few shows including The Professional, which starred Jean Reno as a hitman who takes in a young Natalie Portman after her family is murdered. Aiello was the mafia leader.

Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

His shtick was playing New York/Brooklyn Italian stereotypes.

I remember he was also in Madonna's Papa Don't Preach video, playing "papa" to Madonna's pregnant "teenage chick with a guido boyfriend" character.

If you have never seen it, check out an indie film he was in called Dinner Rush, set in a NYC restaurant that his mob bookmaker character owned and in which his young son was manager and head chef.

Pretty good flick.

He was a decent actor, but I felt a bit overexposed for awhile in the 80's, in a fad actor, "Italian stereotype du jour" kind of way.

But RIP to him.
