Frank Vincent

Frank Vincent Gattuso Jr. (born 15 April 1937 in North Adams, Massachusetts, USA; died 13 September 2017 in Nutly, New Jersey, USA) was an American actor. During a five-decade career, Vincent often portrayed mobsters. He was a frequent collaborator of filmmaker Martin Scorsese, appearing as Salvy in Raging Bull (1980), Billy 'Batts' in Goodfellas (1990), and Frank Marino in Casino (1995). He played Phil Leotardo in the fifth and sixth seasons of the HBO crime drama The Sopranos (2004–2007). Other acting credits include the films Do the Right Thing (1989), Mortal Thoughts (1991), Jungle Fever (1991), and Cop Land (1997).

I purchased the signed photographs from Frank's official website in July 2015.
