Are there any Italian-American characters in recent movies or TV Shows?
I love Italian-American characters as Joey Tribbiani from Friends, The Fonz from Happy Days, George Costanza from Seinfeld, Rocky Balboa, Don Corleone in The Godfather and, of course, Tony Soprano. I havn't seen Italian-American characters on any TV programs or films with the exception of an Italian mobster in American Gangster. Does anyone know of any that are the latest in movies or new releases on DVD? Thanks in advance.
