His son was in the Groundhog Day episode where Mulder keeps waking up in a waterbed and reliving a bank robbery. His girlfriend was played by Carol Burnett’s daughter, now deceased.

my agent worked on the set of TREMORS 4. BD was the life of the cast, and he was a “freeper”. From what was told to me, he didnt really need the money but he actually loved the original movie with Kevin bacon and Fred ward. Another thing, he owned guns, lots of them supposedly..

Nitti: "I said that your friend died screaming like a stuck Irish pig!" Enraged, Ness throws him off the roof of the courthouse, Nitti screams all the way down to his death. Costner yells out to him as he is falling: "Did he sound anything like that???!!"

My recollection is that Ness never killed anyone.
Regardless, Frank Nitti lived to run the Capone mob, teach Saul Alinsky, and die by suicide.

"Supernatural", 'Time is on My Side', Drago's ancient "Doctor
Benton" kept himself alive by stealing body parts. His character
...had me in stitches. Rest well, Bill.

I don’t think Ness was a big time action guy either.
If he was anything like the TV Robert Stack version, there would have been way fewer thugs for a while.

That’s actually a VERY cool pic. Loved those 1920/1930’s clothing styles.
They SCREAMED “classy”.
