Frank Sivero is a screen veteran of the old school known to audiences from a long list of titles rather than from one. Viewing habits have changed more than once since the first credit. Casting directors have gone to him for crime more than for anything else. The distance between the first credit and the most recent is about 54 years. If one title has to stand in for the rest, it is 'GoodFellas'. Among the rest of the work, 'The Godfather Part II' stands out.

Frank Sivero (born January 6, 1952) is a European-American businessman, entrepreneur and character actor, perhaps best known for playing the roles of Genco Abbandando in Mario Puzo's and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part II and Frankie Carbone (based on Angelo Sepe) in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. Sivero was born Francesco LoGiudice in Siculiana, Sicily, Italy, and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He can be seen as an extra in The Godfather as one of the witnesses to Sonny Corleone's brutal beating of his brother-in-law, Carlo. Director Martin Scorsese cast him as Frankie Carbone after seeing his performance in The Godfather: Part II. He also appeared in the The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler.
