Alexander Federico Petricone, a young Boston gangster/tough guy, went on to take the name Alex Rocco, study acting from Leonard Nimoy, and cement himself in film history by playing the doomed Las Vegas casino owner Moe Greene, as well as many other roles in TV and Film.

 

His list of roles is very long, but let's be honest; his portrayal of Moe Greene is legendary. He will always be remembered for that role FIRST.

I know him as Jo's father on "Facts of Life" and as a love interest of Dorothy's on "Golden Girls". Not a Godfather fan.

I have only ever known him from The Godfather: "Jesus Christ, Mike, he was bangin' cocktail waitresses two-at-a-time."

 

That scene has to be one of the best single scenes in all of film history....all the way until the end, when Michael warns Fredo to never take sides against the Family again. Chilling, eerie, and deadly......:outtahere:
