How to Act Like a Supporting Character in a Mob Film

Everyone wants to be a gangster (if not a gangsta), so why not emulate one of those bizarrely memorable weirdos that populate mob films. Here are tips on how to do it.





Step1
Look the part. Slick that hair and get the threads befitting a man of your credentials. You'll need that style to blend in during those critical backroom card games.


Step2
Get a nickname. It can refer to some inexplicable verbal tic (see Jimmy Two-Times from "Goodfellas") or to a physical characteristic. Often nicknames are purposefully inappropriate, as in pretty much any mobster named "Big" or "Little" something. Sometimes these names do not make any sense.


Step3
Hang out and do mobster stuff, before inevitably getting whacked two-thirds of the way into the film because some job went terribly wrong.
