Jimmy Fingers


Kind of liked this character--a real sleaze ball who will see "anything to anybody" except for Hatcher. Looked like he was having a good time in that hotel until Hatcher busted up his party. (Why was the Jamaican there? Was it a 3 some or 4 some?) Apparently the mob even wouldn't associate with Fingers he was such a bad apple.

We don't know exactly why the Jamaican Nesta was there, but presumably he was "procuring" the two hookers for Jimmy Fingers. Nesta most likely was a pimp as well as a drug dealer. He was close to Jimmy and may have been acting as a bodyguard as well. FYI Hatcher says to Jimmy Fingers that he was "thrown out" of Atlantic City. Jimmy Fingers was a made man in the Mafia. More often than not, when the Mob "puts you on the shelf" - which means you are not allowed to participate in Mob business or have dealings with other Mafia members - you are usually killed subsequently by them, because you either talk too much, know too much, or keep breaking rules. In other words, Jimmy Fingers character probably would have been murdered sooner or later if Hatcher hadn't done it.
