Explore the life of Tommy Bilotti (1940–1985), a feared enforcer for the Gambino crime family. Born in Staten Island, Bilotti began his criminal career in the 1960s with Johnny D'Alessio's crew, which managed the gambling rackets for Carlo Gambino. Known for his fierce loyalty and pit bull-like demeanor, Bilotti was involved in construction, unions, and the waterfront, allegedly participating in 11 rubouts. Despite being seen as humorless and wearing a bad toupee, he became a protégé of Paul Castellano, earning his trust and acting as a gatekeeper to the boss. FBI agents feared Bilotti for his bad temper and ruthless nature, likening him to a Joe Pesci character without the charm. His close relationship with Castellano bred jealousy within the family, and when plans to overthrow Castellano emerged, it was clear that Bilotti had to go as well. On December 16, 1985, Tommy Bilotti was took down alongside Castellano outside Sparks Steak House.
