Paul Sorvino
Taking a step back into the world of actors who were famous for their portrayal of gangsters, Paul Sorvino is definitely a part of that list. He played the main mobster in the legendary film we already mentioned a few times, Goodfellas. He was usually playing either a police officer or a gangster.
But just because he had a habit of being cast in crime movies did not mean he was limited as an actor. He did some dramatic work which gained him huge notoriety among his peers. By the end of his career, he had stacked up numerous awards and bumped shoulders with some of the biggest names in the industry.
