We all love mob movies, Scarface, The Godfather, the list goes on and on.

But there's one movie that speaks to me more than all the others, Donnie Brasco.

It starred Johnny Depp as an FBI agent who went deep undercover in the New York Mafia.

And unlike Scarface or The Godfather, it's actually based on a true story.

And you know what they say?

Truth is stranger than fiction.

I'm Leo Rossi.

I've spent my life behind and in front of the camera creating stories about the mob.

We're going to go off the page and talk to the real life Donnie Brasco.

Welcome back to Deep Cover.

The Real Donnie Brasco with Joe Pistone and Leo Rossi. In this episode, Joe charts his next course of action within the mafia now that he's left the Colombo's. He seeks out connection to the Bonanno family through relations with guys like Anthony Tony Mira and Lefty Ruggiero.

Leo and Joe also dive into some of the gruesome details behind murders committed by the mafia.

So if you're not too squeamish, you're in for quite an interesting episode. soon.

Picking up where we left off.

Now you're floating in air.

You're not with anybody.

So what was the next step? I mean, you know, I mean, you had to tell your handlers, you know, look, I'm not with them anymore. Who are you with? I had met a guy by name of Tony Miller who was a Colombo at the card games. And, you know, I had conversation with him prior. He was a Colombo or a... No, no, he was a banana. Oh, banana, okay.

And I had, you know, had conversations with him at the game.

And, you know, he had mentioned, hey, you know, he hung out down, and he's from Little Littley.

And so one day I just go down there and I see him and I, you know, roll up and, you know, reintroduce myself and start hanging out with him.

Did you know he was a made guy?

Oh, yeah, sure.
