Don't be a wise guy to this film's mob boss. Paul Cicero, based on Paul Vario, was a former mentor to real mobsters Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke.

"Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut." Goodfellas is an instructional guide on how to be a mobster. Many real-life mobsters are portrayed in the film, among them Paul Vario – who is called Paul Cicero in the film and is played by Paul Sorvino. A whole lot of Pauls.
