Johnny says very little, which spares him from accusations of being a "squealer", but his reticence tends to be unhelpful to himself or others. Johnny's catch phrase is "I ain't sayin' nothin'!". Johnny is in his 30s. His occupation is a Mafia associate. Johnny has short black hair. Johnny wears a purple suit.
When there is a shoot-out in Fat Tony's mansion, and Johnny is shot by accident. When asked where he is injured, he says, " I ain't sayin' nothin'!", and when asked what to tell the doctor, he says, "Tell 'em to suck a lemon."
