Alex Rocco

His girlfriend was hit on by Charlestown mobster Georgie McLaughlin in 1961, setting off the Boston Irish gang war of the early 1960s. Rocco himself was picked up as a suspect in the murder of Bernie McLaughlin, but never charged.

Debuted on "Batman" (1966) as a thug who gets "Whapped" by the Caped Crusader.

His "Do you know who I am" line in The Godfather (1972) is often used by Howie Carr when the subject is the "Beautiful People" getting in trouble.

Starred in the February 3, 2008, Super Bowl ad for Audi that parodied the famous "horse head" scene in The Godfather (1972).

Wife Sandie E. Rocco was a former professional square dancer and night club performer who later became a screenwriter. She died at age 59 after a four-year battle with cancer on June 12, 2002.
