I could not picture him playing an Italian in this movie i think Steve Martin did a fantastic job at it thank god Schwarzenegger dropped out to file kindergarten cop.

When Arnold was involved, Screenwriters were going to retool him to be a Russian Mobster. That is what the director Herbert Ross told me in an email a couple years before he passed away. I really am glad Steve Martin did do it, This is one of his last really great roles!

One problem I see with that is when Vinnie meets his old chums. I can't imagine there are that many Russian Mobsters in WitSec that they could pull something like that off.

During the cold war, it could have been feasible.

Thank goodness that never happened.

Amen to that. The less I see of that SOB the better. Crummy actor, and even worse governor. Funny how Trump is blaming him for crappy Apprentice ratings.
