Michael Ortiz

MTV Movie Blog has a story about Michael Ortiz, who’s been cast in “Public Enemies.”

“I’m playing Frank Nitti, who’s a Sicilian gangster,” Ortiz said of the man they called “The Enforcer,” portrayed by Bruce Gordon in “The Untouchables” TV show, Sylvester Stallone in the 1975 movie “Capone,” Stanley Tucci in “Road to Perdition,” and tossed from a roof by Kevin Costner in 1987’s “Untouchables” movie.

In real life, Nitti served as the right-hand man for Al Capone during his heyday, only to eventually go to prison and then commit suicide after his release. “He was already kind of established,” Ortiz said of the timeline in which “Public Enemies” will depict Nitti.
