Henry Hill
Henry Hill always wanted to be a gangster. He realized his dream when he began working as an errand boy for Brooklyn's Lucchese crime family, and his 'career' spanned three decades. To avoid prison and possible execution, Hill became one of the first Mafia informants. The film, Goodfellas, recounts his story. Hill now does film consulting and writes. His latest book is, Gangsters and Goodfellas: Wiseguys, Witness Protection, and Life on the Run.
