The Ultimate Mafia Dream Team — Picked by a Former Mob Boss

About this episode

Michael Franzese discusses his dream mafia crew composed of iconic movie characters.

I lived that life for over 20 years. I was a Capo Regime in the Colombo family. So when people kept asking me — Michael, if you could build your dream mafia crew from movie characters, who’d be on it? — I figured we’d have some fun with it. Think of it like fantasy football for the mob. In this one, I draft my perfect crew: the boss, the underboss, the consigliere, the capo, the enforcer, the soldier, and the money guy. Don Corleone, Tony Soprano, Sonny from A Bronx Tale, Luca Brasi, Donnie Brasco, Tony Montana, Hyman Roth, Phil Leotardo — all the heavy hitters. Some of these picks were close calls. Some I’d bet my life on. Tell me in the comments who you’d put on your dream team — and who I got wrong.
