| − | 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.
| + | '''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]]''. |

| − | In the third-season episode ''[[Bart the Murderer]]'', Fat Tony is referred in a news report given by [[Kent Brockman]] as '''William "Fat Tony" Williams'''. This may be his real name, or it may be a hastily-created pseudonym.

| − | Of course as a known mob boss, Fat Tony likely has numerous aliases, and it is possible that ''none'' of the above might be his 'real' name. His nickname also may be a reference to real-life mobster Anthony 'Fat Tony' Salerno.

| + | |E6=yes |
| − | 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 "[[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 [[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. [[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 [[Joe Quimby]]. In "[[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 [[Maggie Simpson|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 "[[Moe Baby Blues]]", she mentions that the Mafia frequently congregates outside her house, and that she often brings them lemonade.

| − | Fat Tony appears in "[[The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer]]". His son Michael is introduced (he was mentioned earlier in "[[Moe Baby Blues]]" and "[[The Seven-Beer Snitch]]") and [[Bart]] reveals that Fat Tony muscled McDonald's and Burger King out of Springfield so [[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 [[Chief Wiggum]].

| − | Originally, Tony was going to be voiced by [[Hank Azaria]]. However, since Fat Tony wasn't a very good drawing, Groening decided to make a ''Special Guest Voice'' on him. Groening chose [[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. However, this didn't stop [[Phil Hartman]] filling in for him on one occasion.

| − | ''[[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:Vito Corleone|Don Corleone]] from ''[[wikipedia:The Godfather|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:The Godfather Part III|Godfather III]]''" (in which Mantegna played the character [[wikipedia:Joey Zasa|Joey Zasa]], one of the inspirations for Fat Tony). His son's name is a reference to [[wikipedia:Michael Corleone|Michael Corleone]]. Fat Tony is also a competent violinist.
