Speaking of movies another rumour floating the rounds is that Gotti had so much admiration for Edmund 'Eddie' Boyle that he used his sway to pull Mickey Rourke from a Westies movie where the portrayal of Eddie's character was said to be far from flattering. Whether this movie was 'State Of Grace' or another project that failed to get off the ground I have no idea. Here's the clip from SHO NUFF MOB Study:http://gangstersinc.tripod.com/ShoDec1404.html
What is the name of the soldier who John Gotti was seeking to protect?
According to Michael "Mikey Scars" DiLeonardo, the mob rat, the late John J. "Dapper Don" Gotti asked Mickey Rourke, the bad-boy actor, to bow out of his role in a movie based on the THE WESTIES, the T. J. English (March 15, 1991) novel, St. Martin's Paperbacks; Reissue edition, ISBN: 0312924291. John Gotti made the request because in the movie there was an unflattering mention of a Gambino soldier.
John Gotti "feared the flick would reflect badly on one of his trusted soldiers." Mickey Rourke complied with John Gotti's wishes.
What is the name of the soldier who John Gotti was seeking to protect? Is that soldier Edmund "Eddie" Boyle, the Irish-American Gambino Crime Family associate? Link: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime_file/story/260419p-223001c.html
Eddie Boyle is a member of the Brooklyn-based mob crew headed by Thomas "Huck" Carbonaro, the Gambino soldier, before the onset of Huck's legal problems as a co-defendant in Peter Gotti's current federal conspiracy trial.
