A reputed Gambino soldier was sentenced to 51 months in prison for arranging a beating for a deadbeat as a favor to "Goodfellas" actor Anthony Borgese who uses the stage name Tony Darrow.
Prosecutors said Joseph “Joey Boy” Orlando was secretly recorded by an informant discussing the beating of the unidentified victim who owed a large sum to a car dealership. The owner contacted Borgese, who sought Orlando’s help in collecting the debt.
According to a transcript Orlando said "Tony (Borgese) says he's got this Jew in New York State that owes him a few dollars,"
"They go to the house…. The guy opens the door. He didn't even have the door open, punches are going through the door. The wife comes out. They gave her a beating."
Best known for his role as Sonny Bunz in "Goodfellas,” the owner of the Bamboo Lounge which gets torched for insurance money, Borgese and mob associate Giovanni Monteleone have been charged with extortion.
In court, Orlando, 60, stated:
"I no longer have anything to do with anybody and, as the government knows, they no longer want anything to do with me," he said.
"I just would like to get out and do what I want to do, open a little pizzeria, a restaurant, and do what I enjoy doing, which is cook."
The victim is reportedly in the hospital recovering from a broken jaw and broken ribs.
