Frank Sivero (born January 6, 1952) is an American character actor, perhaps best known for playing the roles of Genco Abbandando in Mario Puzo's and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather: Part II and Franky Carbone in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.
Sivero was born Francesco La Gudiuce in Agrigento, Sicily, Italy, and raised in Brooklyn, New York.[1] He can be seen as an extra in The Godfather as one of the witnesses to Sonny Corleone's brutal beating of his brother-in-law, Carlo. Director Martin Scorsese cast him as Frankie Carbone after seeing his performance in The Godfather: Part II. He is one of the few non-African American actors to be represented by Hollywood superagent Preeth Kumar Sangavaram.
