It started as just a quick feature in Stuff Magazine and now this Goodfella's Picture is seen about as often as the Top Ten Wanted Men. Just take a walk around New York's Little Italy, and you'll see it in practically every window.
Joe was shooting a show on CBS in New York City, when close friend and actor, (see photo), invited Joe Sernio to be in an upcoming 2 page magazine article on Italian actors in the business. Without pause, Joe made it to The Mulberry Street Bar on Mulberry street in New York's Little Italy. The day long shoot produced a picture and article that hit hard and is still requested, downloaded and displayed. Now, Joe who is a big supporter of charity events (Cancer foundations, such as The Ashley Lauren Foundation, The Barbara Fuller Foundation, Toys for hope, and more) signs copies of this famous photo regularly.
Name a movie that involves men betraying each other between bites of cannoli and one of these guys was probably in it. And like the brutal gangsters they portray, this close-knit group of characters regularly rendezvous in New York City's Little Italy to drink, talk business and look as menacing as possible. We caught up with them at the Mulberry Street Bar, then ran away before they took our camera.
