Another Fan Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 He died 30 years ago on this date January 13, 1989. You may not know the name but you'd probably recognize the face. One of best and most original character actors. Willie Cicci from The Godfather, Gazzo from Rocky, and the first person who speaks in Taxi Driver. What do you want to hack for Bickle? He's pretty much the guy Sylvester Stallone owes his career to for supporting him when he was living in poverty and helped make Rocky. Spinell was godfather to one of Stallone's sons. Joe truly was a talented and unique individual who reminds me of that old New York City before it became so gentrified. For anyone who likes horror movies here I'd highly recommend Maniac. The movie is a little gruesome but Joe was fantastic in it. The trailer is below, it does spoil some of the movie sorry about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 He was also the pimp in Night Shift; there was a hilarious scene with Henry Winkler. I had no idea he died so long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
