“Goodfellas” tells a story about a period of time, starting in 1955 and ending in 1980. Some notable people, like Henny Youngman and Jerry Vale, play themselves. They didn’t try that with crooner Bobby Vinton, though, who was too old to portray a young version of himself at the time of filming. He was 55 years old when Goodfellas was made. Fortunately, Scorsese had another option- He saw the iconic singer in his son and didn’t hesitate to take that chance. Vinton is played in the movie by Robbie Vinton, who happens to be Bobby’s son and it was a great casting.

Bobby Vinton himself has had about seven acting roles during his singing career, which began in 1964 with the beach party film Surf Party. He played George Reynolds in the ABC sitcom The Patty Duke Show episode “Patty and the Newspaper Game” in 1965.
