This makes me feel old. It was only about 20 years ago that the Henry Hill movie came out and he did not look that old in the movie. My favorite scene in that movie was the Billy Batts scene when the guy out of prison (Billy Batts) end up getting killed over a shoeshine joke. Then they stuff him in a trunk (still half-alive) and get fed Italian food in the middle of the night by one of the killers' mother (the short, loudmouth one). The mother asks "how come the blood all over the clothes" and she was told that they "hit a deer" on the way over there.

I wonder if Henry Hill was in any of the other gangster movies. I don't remember ever seeing him again.

I know two of the guys who appeared as extras in that scene. One owns a restaurant on Mulberry Street, in New York's Little Italy.

The short gangster was Tommy, played by Joe Pesci—and his mom was played by Scorcese’s mom.

I think of that scene every time I hear Donovan’s song “Atlantis”.
