Legs and Louie
| ||||||||||||||
Character Information
|
Legs and Louie are the two Springfield Mafia hitmen who accompany Fat Tony at all times.
Contents
Confusion
Fans often get the two confused due to neither of them having any real definitive characteristic and because they are almost always seen together. Legs has a short haircut and raspy voice. Louie has a slight afro and a more high-pitched, even squeaky tone. He says that tear gas is "[his] one weakness," though this is likely an embellishment.
Character Traits
Creation
Louie's appearance and mannerisms are strongly evocative of character actor Frank Sivero, who has played gangster roles in films such as Goodfellas and The Godfather Part II. Also, according to Dan Castenella, he modelled his voice after Italian American actor Joe Pesca, who also had a role in Goodfellas. It has also been established that Joseph Kennedy, father of President John Kennedy, had something to do with Legs acquiring his nickname, though this is never properly explained.
Professions Outside the Mafia
Legs is an accomplished mob surgeon as referenced in "Trilogy of Error", where he sews Homer's thumb back on as a part of Lisa's science project. In Homie the Clown, Legs mentions that he has a sister, and says that Barney takes pictures of her.
