Al Capone, aka Scarface, the Brooklyn mobster who was sent by Frankie Yale to cool his heels in Chicago, has been played by some of the best actors in Hollywood, but rarely by an actual Italian, and Robert De Niro is half-Irish. Paul Muni and Edward G. Robinson were both Jewish, which is almost the same as Italian in a lot of New York neighborhoods.
