Was Larry (jake's neighbor) a real neighbor???


I think I heard this story in one of Scorsese's many interviews(can't remember which one)he did where he spoke about that certain scene in Raging Bull...but I can't seem to find anything on that...
I just remember hearing about Larry in the movie was actually a real tenant living there who got fed up with he people screaming and fighting up stairs but what he didn't know that these people were actors performing a scene..so he yells out "What's the matter with you up there, you animals?" and De Niro improvised and played along.. was this true?

actually Larry is one of the crew members on the film. He yells at Deniro, and Deniro responds to it.



Peace!
