List of Scarface characters

A number of characters (shown below) who appeared in the 1983 film Scarface and the quasi-sequel video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.

Contents

Tony Montana

Antonio Raimundo "Tony" Montana is the main character in Scarface and the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours, portrayed by Al Pacino in the film and by André Sogliuzzo in the video game. Oliver Stone came up with the name by combining the last name of his then-favorite football player (Joe Montana) and the first name from the main character of the 1932 film version, Tony Camonte, played by Paul Muni.

In the film's ending Tony Montana's mansion was raided by Alex Sosa's gang in retribution for not killing a Bolivian anti-drug journalist with his wife and children, resulting in his death, but in the video game Tony Montana could survive the assault, regain his criminal empire and exact revenge on Sosa.

In the game and the movie, Tony carries an M16 rifle with an M203 grenade launcher strapped to the barrel.

Alejandro Sosa

Alejandro "Alex" Sosa is a Bolivian drug lord . He was portrayed by Paul Shenar. Sosa is called Alex by Tony Montana and Gaspar Gomez. He serves as Tony's chief nemesis and the primary antagonist of the film.

A powerful drug lord from Bolivia, Sosa resides in Cochabamba, where he governs a large coca plantation. His drug empire stretches across the Andes. There he arranges a meeting with Tony, along with Omar Suarez, who are there to help secure a cocaine transaction on the behalf of Frank Lopez, Tony's boss back in Miami, who is out on bail for an upcoming trial and cannot leave the United States. Tony begins to make increasingly demanding offers. Omar, fearing for his life, angrily demands that Tony stop making such outrageous offers without Frank's consent. Sosa, somewhat impressed with Tony's ability to negotiate, feigns agreement with Omar by saying Tony is too junior to make deals, and supposedly sends him back to Florida. Sosa then explains that Omar was actually an informant, and then gives Tony binoculars to see Omar being thrown out of and hung by the neck on the same helicopter he was flying home. Tony is neither shocked nor sorry to see Omar's murder, and explains that he never liked nor trusted him, and boldly negotiates a deal, overriding Frank.

Sosa sends Tony home, agreeing to the demands of Tony, a deal of 2,000 kilograms of cocaine for $50 million which is worth over $75 million on the street and black market sales-- a profit of $15 million for both Tony and the Frank Lopez cartel. When Frank hears about this, he is outraged, for he does not have the many millions of dollars it would take to pay Sosa for the purchase of the cocaine. Tony manages to convince Lopez that he can make money on the side, in case there is not enough money to pay off Sosa. Tony also attempts to convince Frank that Sosa has established a "credit line" with them, as he is well aware that they cannot pay the full $50 million right away. Frank tells Tony that Sosa cannot be trusted and will sooner or later betray them for even the slightest compromise or deviation of his business. Tony responds with indifference and also responds likewise when Frank tells him that ambitious drug dealers, who crave money and attention, do not last long in the business. Frank's two warnings about Sosa's violence and Tony's audacity would later be proven true.

Lopez, feeling that the greedy and ambitious Tony has run amok, then calls a hit team on him. The hit is unsuccessful, and Tony responds by killing Lopez, and taking over his empire.

Later, Tony runs into trouble with tax evasion, and faces up to three years in prison. Sosa invites Tony back to his large mansion complex and explains to Tony that he has a similar problem. A Bolivian journalist who has been reporting on corrupt Bolivian government officials and flag officers has been troubling Sosa and his entire drug operation in Bolivia and also has a story that could send Sosa to the electric chair. Sosa requests Tony escort one of his men to New York City in order to supervise the assassination of the reporter, who is due to give a speech at the United Nations. In exchange, Sosa will take advantage of his connections in the U.S. government to guarantee a light punishment and no jail time for Tony's upcoming trial with the United States Tax Court.

Planting a car bomb, Tony and the hitman tail the car with a remote-controlled detonator. They are surprised to see the man's wife and two daughters enter the car with him. Tony, now extremely reluctant to continue with the hit, becomes increasingly agitated with the hitman, until he completely snaps. Tony then murders the hitman who was supposed to kill the journalist.

Sosa berates Tony over the telephone for this, stating that the bomb was found and that the journalist now has "security up the ass", making it impossible for them to attempt another hit, but the drug-addicted Tony shows his defiance and states that he will willingly go to a mob war against Sosa. In revenge for the sabotage, Sosa has many members of his personal guard sneak into Tony's mansion that very night. They murder Tony, as well as all his armed guards, but not before Tony personally kills many of them. Sosa's fate at the end of the film is unknown.

In a comic book Scarface that was a pseudosequel to the movie, it details that Sosa had revitalized a dirt-poor Bolivian village (in a manner similar to Pablo Escobar) by making it a hub for his cocaine network and giving employment to all the villagers. In graitude, the village holds an annual parade to honor Sosa. Tony travels to Bolivia and manages to assassinate Sosa during this parade when his guard is down. However, it is also shown Sosa married Elvira, which causes problems as Elvira was torn between her new husband and her latent feelings for Tony.

In Scarface: The World Is Yours, Sosa allies himself with Gaspar Gomez and Sheffield, Tony's corrupt lawyer. Sosa makes multiple calls to Tony though the game, indicating that despite his efforts, Tony will get nowhere. During one of multiple meetings in his mansion, Tony attacks. He shoots his way through Sosa's men, killing Sheffield and Gomez as well. He confronts Sosa in his living room, a location featured in the movie. There, Sosa is shot and left slumped in his sofa. Tony hires one of his surviving men as a butler.

The character of Alejandro Sosa is based on the Bolivian 'King of Cocaine' Roberto Suárez Goméz.

Manny Ribera

Manolo Ribera (credited as "Manny Ray") is best friends with Tony Montana who rises with him to the top of the cocaine business in Miami during the early 1980s and the deutragonist of the film. He was played by Steven Bauer.

Little is revealed about Manny in the film, but it is told that he and Tony Montana served time in prison and in the army while in Cuba.

At the beginning of the film, Manny and Tony make their way to America during the Mariel Boatlift in 1980. A month after being sent to Freedom Town, a detention camp, Manny manages to get him and Tony green cards and a job washing dishes at a small food stand. Tony and Manny quit this job when they take another job to exchange some cocaine for money from "Hector the Toad" and several other Colombians at a hotel. Even though the deal goes awry, Tony manages to grab the cocaine while keeping the buy money. They then begin working for powerful yet affable drug kingpin Frank Lopez.

As Tony becomes more and more powerful, they eventually overpower Lopez, kill him (Manny pulls the trigger) and take over his empire. In the same scene Tony personally murders corrupt Miami Chief of Detectives, Vice Squad Melvin "Mel" Bernstein. It is during this time that Manny falls in love with Tony's younger sister Gina, which Tony angrily forbids. Their friendship is constantly strained as an often-coked up Tony fails to listen to his friend, who tries in vain to be the voice of reason and keep Tony grounded by offering financial advice and is placed in charge of security when Tony buys his mansion. After Tony begins having trouble with bank fees with the constant money that rolls in from the drug business, Manny suggests going to another person, Seidelbaum. While counting money and converting the millions to checks, Seidelbaum reveals himself as a cop, who arrests Tony for tax evasion. Tony is naturally angry at his friend, since unknowingly setting up the bust could end up costing Tony three years in jail. While Tony goes on a mission for Alejandro Sosa (another powerful drug lord who works with Tony) in New York, Manny disappears and marries Gina Montana. When Tony returns home and gets the address from his mother, he drives there and approaches the door. Manny answers, just as Gina appears at the top of the stairs. Enraged, Tony shoots Manny twice (although the second shot is edited out in the TV version) and kills him. Gina runs down the stairs and cries over Manny's body before telling Tony that they got married the day before, Tony then quickly regrets killing his friend. After going back to his mansion and somewhat sobering up from a cocaine high, Tony continues to show regret for killing his friend, but is killed shortly after by The Skull in a massive shootout.

In the comic book, Manolo is not featured, having been deceased in the pseudosequel. However, there is one panel of Manny intended as a flashback where two corrupt cops harass Tony in intensive care. The panel shows a shocked Tony having a gun pointed at his face and the cops saying "Your best friend Manny Ray is dead; brutally murdered in his own residence. The killer was never found and the case is officially unsolved". The cops fail to realize they are speaking to Manolo's murderer.

In the video game, Tony is shown at certain points talking to himself that he deeply regrets killing Manny as he has never found a loyal sidekick like him, and hopes Manolo can hear his apologies in the great beyond. Tony can also purchase an urn containing Manny's cremated remains and keep it in his mansion, along with an urn containing the cremated remains of Manny's bride, Gina.

Frank Lopez

Frank Lopez is an aging Miami based drug lord (leading the Lopez Cartel), who asks Tony Montana and Manny Ribera to kill a former political aide to Fidel Castro. Frank Lopez is portrayed by Robert Loggia. Loggia stated in a book about the "Scarface" phenomenon that Lopez is Jewish and lived in Cuba during the 1950s. Along with Hector the Toad, Lopez is one of the film's secondary villains.

Lopez asks the hit on the former aide, Rebenga, who tortured and murdered Frank's brother while serving as one of Fidel Castro's top henchmen just after the Cuban Revolution. Afterwards, Tony, Chi-Chi, Manny and the other Marielitos are released from Freedom Town. Lopez's henchman, Omar Suarez, approaches Montana and Manny Ray, and assigns them to make a cocaine deal with a gang of murderous Colombians led by Hector "The Toad". Tony, Chi-Chi, Manny and another associate Angel go to the drug deal with the Colombians. Manny and Chi-Chi wait for Tony's signal to bring the money, and go inside the Sun-Ray Hotel.

As Hector, the Colombian gang leader, attempts to fast-talk Tony, even questioning where he is from, two more Colombian thugs grab Angel, and the two of them are ambushed. As Tony and Angel are held at gunpoint by Hector's mistress, Marta and the other two Colombians, Hector reveals a chainsaw that had been concealed in a briefcase. Angel is butchered by Hector, while Tony watches in horror as his friend is killed. Manny and Chi-Chi make their way inside, gunning down Marta and Hector's men. Hector is injured, but manages to escape into the street, with Montana on his tail. Montana finishes him off, and the crew gets away.

Tony pays Lopez back the coke from the botched drug deal. Tony is also introduced to Elvira Hancock (Michelle Pfeiffer), Lopez's mistress who will become the source of tension between them. Tensions rise when Suarez is killed by Bolivian drug lord Alejandro Sosa's men in Bolivia. Lopez is angered, and accuses Montana of stealing the deal. Montana goes as far as to propose to Elvira. Combined with that, Lopez and Montana have a heated confrontation at the Babylon Club, resulting in two Colombian gunmen being sent in to assassinate Montana. Montana escapes, and confronts his corrupt cop henchman Mel Bernstein (Harris Yulin) along with Manny and Chi-Chi. After disarming Lopez the aging drug lord begins pleading for his life and Tony agrees that he won't kill Lopez. He then gives Manny the gun who kills Lopez with a shot to the chest while Montana finishes off Mel.

During the game, Tony occasionally expresses regret for killing Frank, saying he is sorry, but that Frank was wrong. Robert Loggia also stars in the video game as the narrator.

Chi Chi

Chi Chi was one of Tony's best friends and henchmen once he rises to power. He is present with Montana throughout most of the movie, first appearing as backup when he saves Manny from one of Hectors bodyguards in the drug deal/chainsaw scene. His name is apparent in the memorable quote of "Chi-Chi get the yayo" whilst in the Colombians' seedy motel room. His ultimate fate is when he holds off a very large portion of Sosa's men, but is gunned down just outside of Tony's office when Tony fails to open the door as he is grieving over Gina's death. In the video game, Chi Chi looks just like one of Tony's goons that can deliver his car for him. He was portrayed by Ángel Salazar.

Hector the Toad

Hector, nicknamed The Toad, is a Colombian gang leader working for the Colombian Cartel and along with Frank Lopez is the film's secondary villain. Hector moved to the United States in the 1970s and started making cocaine deals with many associates including Montana. In 1980, Hector was murdered by Montana after a failing drug deal, as revenge for Hector attempting to rob him and brutally butchering his friend Angel with a chainsaw. Tony, his other close friend Manny, and Chi-Chi escape, taking the money and Hector's cocaine as well. He was portrayed by Al Israel.

Gaspar Gomez

Gaspar Gomez is a Mexican drug kingpin partnering with Alejandro Sosa. Gaspar Gomez appears in the video game, Scarface: The World Is Yours, but is murdered at the end of the game by Montana along with George Sheffield and Sosa. He was portrayed by Robert Vandenberg in the film, and voice by Cheech Marin in the video game. In the film, Gaspar is seen after Tony finds Gina in a bathroom stall with a sleazy guy. Tony comes face-to-face with Gaspar as he tries to leave. Gaspar and his bodyguard, along with many others stare at him. Tony is spurred to ask them, "what the fuck you want, you want something?", pushing Gaspar. Even though Gaspar is in the movie his name isn't in the credits.

Alfonso Diaz and Edgar Diaz

In the film

The Diaz Brothers are only mentioned in the film but never seen. Many fans mistake the two assassins that Frank sends to kill Tony as the Diaz brothers, but it is made clear numerous times that not only is this not the case, but that the Diaz brothers in fact run a rival cartel to the Lopez cartel. The scene where Tony informs Frank of the deal he made with Sosa has Frank asking Tony what the Diaz Brothers, along with Nacho Contreas and Gaspar Gomez, will do when the Lopez cartel starts moving that volume of product. After the assassination attempt on Tony, Frank also tries to blame the Diaz Brothers, stating he will get revenge on them for Tony. In one more scene, where Tony and Manny are discussing security after Tony has taken over the Lopez Cartel, Tony reveals that he fears the Diaz brothers may be plotting against him. The final scene where they are mentioned is proof that they remain alive and well many months after the assassination attempt on Tony.

In the game

After Tony survives Sosa's raid on his island mansion, he seeks revenge on him and also begins trying to get his old businesses back from Gaspar Gomez, Nacho "El Gordo" Contreras, Edgar, and Alfonso themselves. The brothers kill Tony's mother, and send assassins after him in the Babylon Club. Tony kills all but one who reveals the Diaz's had the older lady. In revenge, Tony stages an attack on the Diaz car dealership. Edgar is slain in the back halls of the building. Alfonso is killed in a car chase.

Nacho Contreras

Nacho Contreras, nicknamed El Gordo, is a large drug baron in charge of cocaine distribution in Downtown. In the film, Frank Lopez points him out in the Babylon Club to Tony Montana and says he's a real "chazzer", which is a Yiddish word meaning pig. Besides being extremely obese, the insulting term refers to Nacho's greed, which means that "he don't fly straight no more." In the movie he is depicted as the richest man in Miami.

In the video game, Nacho Contreras is killed, while attempting to escape Tony by swimming to a boat, but he is shot causing him to bleed and attract a great white shark to attack him.

Gina Montana-Ribera

Gina Montana-Ribera is Tony Montana's beloved 20-year-old sister as well as Georgina Montana's daughter. She attends community college and works part-time at a beauty salon. Upon Tony's first visit, she says that she is only a couple years away from obtaining her cosmetology license. After Tony makes it in the drug business, he uses some of his money to build a beauty salon for Gina; giving her the title deed and makes her owner/manager. During the film she develops a relationship and eventually marries Manolo; unaware of their relationship, Tony kills Manny when he realizes that Gina is with his best friend. Hysterical, Tony and his bodyguards take Gina to Tony's mansion, where she confronts him about not allowing her to be happily married to Manny. She angrily offers her body to Tony, picking up on his suspected incestuous desires, and shoots him (non-fatally) with a Smith & Wesson Model 36 before one of Sosa's assassins shoots her in her left breast and then fires 13 bullets in her back. She was portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. In the game, Tony often calls out to Gina that he hopes she is in Heaven, and he can also purchase her cremated remains in an urn, along with the remains of her husband Manny.

Georgina Montana

Georgina Montana was Tony and Gina's mother. She sees Tony as a bad influence on Gina and disapproves of Tony's criminal lifestyle; even rejecting a generous offer of $1,000 from him. Her husband is not seen in the film, but it is said that she married an American man who was a sailor in the US Navy who abandoned his responsibilities as a husband and father years ago, leaving Mrs. Montana to care for the children by herself. Notably she's one of the few major characters in the movie who's still alive at the end. In a comic book titled "Scarface", which is a pseudosequel to the movie, two corrupt cops tell a hospitalized Tony that his mother had emigrated back to Cuba to live her final days in her ancestral homeland. The cops then spit on him, implying that was the message she left Tony as she believes he is responsible for the death of her daughter Gina. It is referred in the video game that "Mama" Montana was murdered by the Diaz Brothers. She was portrayed by Míriam Colón; in reality, Colon is barely older than Al Pacino but in the movie they are portrayed as being very far apart in age.

Mel Bernstein

Melvin "Mel" Bernstein is a corrupt cop and the Detective of the Miami Police Department. Bernstein was a corrupt cop who offered Tony two choices: pay him a large undisclosed amount of money every month in exchange for coming under the semi-protection of Bernstein's task force, or go to jail for his past crimes. Bernstein was in a meeting with Frank Lopez but Tony killed them both for arranging the failed hit on him. He was portrayed by Harris Yulin.

Angel Fernandez

Angel Fernandez was one of Tony's closest friends, besides Chi-Chi and Manny. After arriving in the United States, Angel and Tony had participated in the drug deal for the Colombians, but during the unsuccessful deal, Angel was murdered due to Montana's failure to co-operate with the Cartel drug dealers. Manny and Chi-Chi waited in the car as Tony and Angel made the exchange. However, Hector began to frustrate Tony by trying to fast-talk him instead of getting to the deal. Angel started to move in when he saw the deal turning sour, but was grabbed by two more Colombian thugs. Tony was held at gunpoint by Hector's associate, Marta, and both of them were taken in the bathroom to be killed. Angel was dismembered by a chainsaw and was killed. He was portrayed by Pepe Serna. Tony later got revenge for his friend's death by shooting Hector, the Colombian coke dealer who butchered Angel to death with the chainsaw, in the street.

Angel becomes a plot point in the game; in order to honor his friend Tony purchases the hotel he had been slain in.

Nick the Pig

Nick the Pig was an underling of Tony and was portrayed by Michael P. Moran. Despite the fact that Tony doesn't treat him that well (in fact he openly insults him on a regular basis) and nicknames him "the pig" because of his obesity, Nick is incredibly loyal to Tony and Elvira (who she dubiously considers a friend). This loyalty however is left ambiguous until the film's climax where Sosa's army of hit men invade Tony's estate and Nick has a clear path to escape but he instead chooses to defend the mansion. Despite wielding only a pistol he does halt the hit men for a brief time but is ultimately killed when The Skull shoots him in the back of the head with his sawed-off shotgun (in both the theatrical version and televised version the killing is off-screen but clear since with the power of the gun it probably would have blown Nick's head apart).

Omar Suárez

Omar Suárez was Frank Lopez's underboss. Suárez had ordered Montana and Ribera to kill Emilio Rebenga while at the detention center. After succeeding, Montana and Ribera were both offered green cards and jobs in Miami. Suárez had enlisted Montana to make a deal with Hector the Toad of the Colombians for a cocaine exchange. Not only did Tony return with the cocaine, but the buy money as well. Omar Suárez was caught being an informer (a 'chivato') for the New York Police Department and was murdered by Sosa's henchmen. He was portrayed by F. Murray Abraham. Tony had suspicions that Omar set up himself and his friend Angel Fernandez to be killed by Hector and his Colombians. It is never revealed if Omar was in league with the Colombians to have Tony killed, or it was really a coincidence. But without a doubt, Omar and Tony clearly despise one another throughout the movie. Omar even attempted to pull a gun on Tony the first time they meet over Tony's greed for wanting more money for a job, but the heated confrontation was defused. Waldo Rojas, the man in the car with Omar, quietly says to him "[Tony] can do the Colombians," causing Omar to stop from pulling the gun on Tony. This implies that Omar may have known about the maniacial nature of Hector the Toad and of the rumors of Hector killing people seeking to buy cocaine from him in order to steal their money, and also that Waldo was reminding Omar that he did not need to threaten Tony, as Hector and the Colombians would probably kill Tony for them.

Elvira Hancock-Montana

Elvira Montana {nee Hancock} was formerly Frank Lopez's girlfriend and later became Tony Montana's wife. Tony nicknames her "Elvie". Elvira has German-American heritage and came from Baltimore, Maryland. She is introduced in the scene where Omar Suarez, Tony Montana, and Manny Ribera meet Frank Lopez, their boss, for the first time. When all are waiting in the big living room, she appears from upstairs and takes the elevator to join the others. Tony falls instantly in love with her. At the restaurant that same evening, Tony Montana first dances and flirts with her. She is again approached by Montana at the pool at Frank's house when he proposes to her. Elvira moves in with Tony after the failed assassination attempt on him and Frank's murder. She then marries Tony in the courtyard of his mansion. After a fight at a restaurant where Tony makes snide remarks that Elvira is probably barren due to her drug use, she angrily leaves him. Her exact whereabouts by the end of the film are unknown. Elvira is also mentioned in the video game by Tony Montana saying to his henchmen that he "loves her" as well as in parts where Tony is talking to himself wondering where she is. Elvira was portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer.

Background

Glenn Close was director Brian De Palma's first choice for the role, but producer Martin Bregman refused because he believed she would not be convincing enough. De Palma refused to screen test Michelle Pfeiffer at first, but relented after being heavily persuaded by her agent. During one of her final callback auditions, Pfeiffer was performing Elvira's final scene with Al Pacino, when she shattered a champagne glass on the table and accidentally cut Pacino. Nevertheless, she ended up beating out Carrie Fisher, Melanie Griffith, Goldie Hawn, Meg Ryan, Teri Hatcher, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Lange and Barbra Streisand to win the role. The other ladies were not just the perfect look for Elvira Hancock. According to Brooke Shields' biographical book, On Your Own (1985), she was offered the part, but her mother rejected her offer.

The Skull

The Skull is Alejandro Sosa's professional henchman and chief assassin. His real name is never given and he has no on-screen dialogue. He is apparently nicknamed by his gaunt face and he always wears large, circular, dark sunglasses, giving his face the appearance of a skull which is his assassin trademark. The Skull is first seen standing in the background where Omar Suarez arranges a meeting with Sosa in Bolivia, when another one of Sosa's henchmen, Alberto the Shadow, informs Sosa that Omar was an informer for the New York Police Department. The Skull and Alberto take Omar to a helicopter where he was supposed to be taken back to Miami but was instead murdered by the Skull himself by hanging. During the mansion raid at the climax, the Skull is apparently one of the leaders of the team sent by Sosa to kill Tony. The Skull also kills Nick the Pig by shooting him in the back of his head with a doubled-barrel shotgun. At the end of the movie, the Skull sneaks into Tony's office during the climactic firefight by climbing up a grapple rope to Tony's second floor balcony office which was left by another assassin who killed Tony's sister Gina Montana-Ribera. The Skull murders Tony by shooting him in the back with a single shot from his double-barreled shotgun. He is then seen in the final shot, walking down the stairs amid the carnage of the climactic gun battle. He was portrayed by Mexican-American actor Geno Silva. His fate after the film is unknown. It is implied he goes back to Bolivia with the rest of the surviving team and reports the successful assassination to Sosa.

In the game, it is possible to turn and kill the Skull at the start of the first mission.

Alberto the Shadow

Alberto, nicknamed The Shadow, is also one of Alejandro Sosa's professional henchman. Alberto supposedly recognizes Omar Suarez as a past police informant in New York, which causes Sosa to have Omar executed. Alberto only speaks Bolivian Spanish as said by Sosa in an arranged meeting with Montana. When Montana has problems facing up to 3 years in prison, Sosa helps Montana avoid facing prison by doing a job for Sosa and his associates. Sosa orders Alberto and Montana to detonate a journalist's car due to his interference in Sosa's drug empire. Montana murders Alberto due to a mistake in the setup (Montana refused to kill the journalist while the latter's wife and children were present, a fact that was of no concern to Alberto). He was portrayed by Mark Margolis.

George Sheffield

In the film

In the movie, Sheffield is Tony's lawyer when he gets arrested by undercover police for laundering money. In a deleted scene, Sheffield is shown being bribed, explaining how he became Tony's lawyer.

In the game

In the game, after Tony Montana survives the raid on his island mansion, he tracks Sheffield to the Babylon Club. Sheffield acts as if to help Montana on his path to the top of the drug world. In the middle of the game, Sheffield is possibly bribed by Sosa and betrays Montana. Pablo, a henchman working for the lawyer, tells him Sheffield sent him to Montana on behalf of Elvira, his wife who left him, but is attacked by hitmen in Freedomtown. Montana kills them, and murders Sheffield, Gaspar Gomez, and Sosa at the end of the game in Bolivia. In the game, Sheffield is voiced by James Woods, also known for his voice of Mike Toreno in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The Sandman

The Sandman (real name unknown) is a Afro-Latin American drug dealer working in The Islands. In some missions throughout the video game, Montana will have to protect this character. The Sandman is voiced by Steven Bauer, who played Manny Ribera in the Scarface movie. The Sandman also runs his own drug cartel that rivals Sosa's, and allies his cartel with Tony's, as Sosa is also at war with the Sandman as he is with Tony.

Ernie

Ernie works as security and a bodyguard for Frank Lopez, but after Tony, Manny and Chi-Chi kill Frank and Mel, Tony offers him a similar job. Working for Tony proves to be a similar experience to working for Frank. He drives the car, opens the doors and does the odd jobs. During the tense scene where Ernie witnesses firsthand the killing of Frank and Mel, he nervously looks at Tony and Manny, unsure of his survival; Tony comments casually, "You want a job, Ernie?", indicating that because Ernie was not in Frank's good graces, he was not a threat to Tony's power grab from Frank and could be a useful lieutenant to Tony and Manolo. Ernie dies on Tony's island protecting the mansion, making him the only member associated with Frank Lopez to be killed by Sosa's army. Throughout the entire movie Ernie wears a suit and tie, while the rest of the crew wear open-neck shirts, with the exception of the final scene where Chi-Chi and other henchmen are attired in expensive suits similar to Ernie's.
