'''Anthony D'Amico''' is a sound re-recording mixer who worked on ''The Simpsons'' between 1991 and 1995. He received three Emmy Award nominations for the episodes "[[Treehouse of Horror II]]", "[[Treehouse of Horror III]]" and "[[Bart vs. Australia]]". He also worked for ''[[The Critic]]''.
  
Fat Tony is a pastiche of Mafia characters from movies and dramas. His nickname may be a reference to "Black Tony,"(Anthony Stracci) the Don of the fictional Stracci family in the The Godfather franchise. His fellow mobsters include [[Joey]], [[Legs and Louie]] and occasionally [[Johnny Tightlips]]. Tony's schemes have ranged from supplying rat's milk to the school cafeteria to dabbling in the illegal fireworks racket. His gang also attempts to monopolize various legitimate business, once waging war with the local [[Yakuza]] over [[Marge Simpson]]'s pretzel business.

Fat Tony has been behind most, if not all of, Springfield's criminal enterprises. Fat Tony's associates meet in what is known as the "Legitimate Businessmen's Social Club." Tony's rackets include the usual organized crime activities such as illegal gambling, cigarette trafficking, and rum running to more unusual activities. In "[[wikipedia:Yakuza|The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]" Homer contracted with the Springfield mafia to drive out Marge's rival snack food distributors to assist her pretzel franchise, demanding 100% of Marge's profits from her pretzel business in exchange, only to be stopped by the local [[Chief Wiggum|Yakuza]] brought in by Marge's rivals. The two gangs then had a mob war, which continued off-screen(Fat Tony and his gangsters displayed very impressive fighting skills, as opposed to when they usually just pull out their guns). Much of Springfield's municipal government is involved with the Mafia. [[Joe Quimby|Chief Wiggum]] has been seen taking bribes from Fat Tony, and in retaliation for a raid on their rat milk facility he attempted to take out a hit on mayor [[Papa's Got a Brand New Badge|Joe Quimby]]. In "[[Maggie Simpson|Papa's Got a Brand New Badge]]", Tony put out a contract on Homer after his private security business interfered with the mob's interests. Homer would have been executed gangland-style if not for [[Moe Baby Blues|Maggie]] coming to the rescue with her rifle. Marge usually has a more peaceful relationship with Fat Tony, even driving his son Michael home from school. In the episode "[[File:Fat Tony and Michael.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Fat Tony with his son Michael.]]", she mentions that the Mafia frequently congregates outside her house, and that she often brings them lemonade.

Fat Tony appears in "[[Moe Baby Blues|The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]". His son Michael is introduced (he was mentioned earlier in "[[The Seven-Beer Snitch|Moe Baby Blues]]" and "[[Bart|The Seven-Beer Snitch]]") and [[wikipedia:McDonald's|Bart]] reveals that Fat Tony muscled [[wikipedia:Burger King|McDonalds']] and [[Krusty Burger|Burger King]] out of Springfield so [[Chief Wiggum|Krusty Burger]] can have a monopoly. The episode also reveals that Fat Tony's wife was whacked by natural causes, and that he once nearly killed [[Hank Azaria|Chief Wiggum]].

Originally, Tony was going to be voiced by [[Joe Mantegna|Hank Azaria]]. However, since Fat Tony wasn't a very good drawing, Groening decided to make a ''Special Guest Voice'' on him. Groening chose [[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes|Joe Mantegna]]. In DVD commentary it is stated that Mr. Mantegna is so enamored with the character that he has forbidden to allow anyone else to voice Fat Tony, he even voiced him when the script only called for a couple of grunts ([[Phil Hartman|Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]). However, this didn't stop [[A Fish Called Selma|Phil Hartman]] filling in for him on one occasion ([[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer|A Fish Called Selma]]).

Though not strictly a "business" dealing, he has shown to be involved in gambling several times, most notably in the episode "[[Moe Baby Blues|Homie the Clown]]", in which he made numerous sports bets with Krusty.

== Character traits ==
 
''[[wikipedia:Vito Corleone|Moe Baby Blues]]'' featured several interesting references relating to Fat Tony. To entertain his subordinates, Fat Tony puts an orange slice in his mouth in imitation of [[wikipedia:The Godfather|Don Corleone]] from ''[[wikipedia:The Godfather Part III|The Godfather]]''. Minutes later, Fat Tony responds to an emotional scene by saying "I haven't cried this much since I paid to see ''[[wikipedia:Joey Zasa|Godfather III]]''" (in which Mantegna played the character [[wikipedia:Michael Corleone|Joey Zasa]], one of the inspirations for Fat Tony). His son's name is a reference to [[Bart the Murderer|Michael Corleone]]. Fat Tony is also a competent violinist. Also of recent years due to The Sopranos, Fat Tony has followed some of Tony Soprano's traits.
