You ever notice how ever since the mafia got dismantled, Italian actors have disappeared from Hollywood?

[Remote]

There used to be all these Italian actors that would get steady work, mostly because of mafia movies or mafia tv shows.

Pretty much the entire cast of the Sopranos has been irrelevant once the show ended.
What did Joe Pesci, Paul Sorvino or Frank Vincent ever really do after Goodfellas/Casino? (granted, Sorvino was old but he was in gangster movies in the 70s too)

Who are the obvious exceptions? De Niro and Pacino. That's pretty much it.
Even Armand Assante, who did that tv version of Gotti...faded into nothing until he briefly popped up on people's radars to play a mobster in American Gangster.

So a crime syndicate gets taken down by the government, and suddenly your cultural impact is reduced to fist bumping on the Jersey Shore?
Seems sad.

They are just normal white actors. You probably won't know unless they announce it.

For instance Nicolas cage is Italian

This isn’t accurate. The Irishman, boardwalk empire, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Also, Leonardo DiCaprio is of Italian descent

They've moved beyond acting, that's why.

Somehow I thought online porn and cam girls are ran by gangsters in Eastern Europe but you might be right.

With the decline of Italian immigration, many Italians have been fully assimilated now and a bunch have intermarried with people of Irish, German, Puerto Rican, Polish descent ...

DeVito is 79, De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino already crossed 80 ... they don't have too many decades left and there isn't anyone really replacing them like OP said.
