He played:





Frank Marino in "Casino" - Joe Pesci's partner and main enforcer who ultimately kills Pesci's character and his brother in the Indiana cornfirld at the end of the movie.





Billy Batts in "Goodfellas" - Who was killed by Joe Pesci's character and carried in the trunk, shot repeatedly after remaining alive in the trunk, and buried in the woods after he insults Pesci about in his younger day's being a shoe shine boy.





Salvy Batts in "Raging Bull" - a very similar character, even baring the same last name of his Goodfellas character, mid level hood in the mafia.





He was NOT however in "The Godfather" (did not star Robert De Niro) nor "The Godfather Part II" with De Niro.





Frank Vincent is a good friend of "Casino", "Goodfellas", and "Raging Bull" co-stars Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci and these three films' director Martin Scorsese, that is why he is in these films. "The Godfather" movies were directed by Francis Ford Coppolla, not Scorsese, did not star Joe Pesci, and only featured De Niro in the second installment, therefore he had no connection to make these movies. Scorsese often features numerous actors over and over again in several of his movies (De Niro, Pesci, Di Caprio, John C. Reilly, Alec Baldwin)





He made his feature film debut in "The Death Collector" (1976) with Pesci, therefore he was not even in movies when "The Godfather I and II" were made in 1972 and 1974, respectively.





He was also in:


The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)


Wise Guys (1986)


Do the Right Thing (1989)


Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989)


Jungle Fever (1991)


Gotti (1996) (TV)


Cop Land (1997)


Belly (1998)


Shark Tale (2004) (voice) with Scorsese and De Niro


"The Sopranos"
