Johnny's typical catchphrase is "I ain't sayin' nothin'!" though he does speak occasionally (albeit vaguely, as seen in [[22 For 30]]. Johnny is depicted as being in his late 30's/early 40's, though his exact age is unknown. He is frequently seen with Fat Tony, Legs and Louie. Johnny has short wavy black hair, thick eyebrows, and wears a pinstripe shirt tucked in a purple suit.

Johnny Tightlips (Born Giovanni Silencio.[4] Legal name: Jonathan Schmallippe[5]) is a caporegime for the Springfield Mafia,[6] working for Fat Tony.

Biography[edit]

Johnny's typical catchphrase is "I ain't sayin' nothin'!" though he does speak occasionally. He is frequently seen with Fat Tony, Legs and Louie. Johnny has short wavy black hair, thick eyebrows, and wears a pinstripe shirt tucked in a purple suit.

Like his nickname, Johnny says very little, which spares him from accusations of being a "squealer", but his reticence tends to be unhelpful to himself and others. An example of this is when there was a shoot-out in Fat Tony's mansion, and Johnny was shot by accident. When asked where he was injured, he replied, " I ain't sayin' nothin'!", and when asked what to tell the doctor, he said, "Tell 'em to suck a lemon." [7]

Fat Tony has referred to him as his "Joisey (Jersey) muscle." [8]
