They wern't in the union
shareNow look- Here's how its gonna be, see.. We got no Italians for this movie, see.. It's like that, see..
shareThere were no Italian actors. They were all too busy bootlegging for the mafia.
shareIt wasn't necessary to seek out actual Italians. They certainly would have used Italian actors if they had had any available, but the guys they had could play Italians, so they used who they had. It wasn't a big deal back then.
