Behind the Laughter

According to Dan Castellaneta, he modeled Louis' voice after the Italian American actor, Joe Pesci, who had a role in Goodfellas. A reference to him is also in Futurama as Clamps in the Robot Mafia.

Lawsuit

On October 22, 2014, it was reported that Goodfellas actor Frank Sivero was suing Fox Television Studios and Matt Groening for $250 million, claiming 'misappropriation of likeness and ideas as well as unjust enrichment' over the show's use of Louie. [9] Sivero maintains that Louie's appearance and mannerisms are strongly evocative of his character Frankie Carbone in the movie, and he is claiming the money on the grounds that the Simpsons producers appropriated his “confidential idea” for the movie character, as well as for “loss of likeness”, resulting him to be subsequently typecast.
