Was David Proval as the Head Thug doing an impression of someone?


I loved his small role in this. He makes the most of it. It seems to me like he is doing an impression of another movie gangster. Does anyone know if this may be true?

Just watching this now for the first time in a long time. I think David Proval is playing the character he would play in the future on The Sopranos, mobster Richie Aprile. He has the “Manson lamps” going and everything!!
