Mean Streets (1973)
Scorsese's 1973 breakthrough. Harvey Keitel and De Niro as Little Italy hustlers.
Actor: Richard Romanus
Richard Romanus played Michael in Mean Streets, the loan shark whose patience with Robert De Niro’s character runs out, and it is one of Scorsese’s first films.
Heavy Metal gave him a voice role, and he appeared in The Sopranos late. He moved to Greece and became a novelist and screenwriter, publishing several books, and largely stepped away from acting.
