Big Paul Castellanno is next on ~ Behind The Gangster, as we break down Real World vs Hollywood
Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we present another installment of "Behind the Gangster." On this show, we will deep dive into a particular gangster's life that has been portrayed on-screen. As audience members, we often wonder about the validity of story lines within organized crime movies. Well, "Behind the Gangster" will allow you to get the answers. Today, alongside Anthony Ruggiano Jr. we will give a perspective of what Big Pual Castellano was like in real life as opposed to how we was portrayed on screen.
Paul Castellano was born on June 26th, 1915, and passed away on December 16th , 1985. The brutal Gangland slaying happened right in front of Saprks Steakhouse, where Big Paul was headed for a meeting. Multiple gunmen in trench coats swarmed the car, killing Castellano & his driver Tommy Bilotti almost instantly. Before this brazen assanation, Castellano had recently taken reigns of the Gambino Crime family after its long time Boss, Carlo Gambino passed away. Many expected then Underboss Neil Dellacroce to take over the family at that time. However, when Gambino gave the position to Castellano it sparked immediately turmoil amongst the family. This was especially bad for blue collar street guy John Gotti. Gotti was the opposite of everything Paul liked about LA Cosa Nostra, and towards the end, Paul had plans to take Gotti out after confirming that Gotti & his crew were, in fact dealing heroin. Gotti beat him to the punch, and then he went on to be the boss of the Gambino Family. While Paul's reign as boss was shirt lived, I camt help but wonder if he had not been taken out, with Paul's keen since for business, where would the American mafia be at today.
