Henry Hill (born June 11, 1943)
is a former American mobster, Lucchese crime family associate,
and FBI informant whose life was immortalized in the book Wiseguy,
written by crime reporter Nicholas Pileggi, and in the 1990 Martin
Scorsese film, Goodfellas, in which Hill was played by
Ray Liotta.
On April 27, 1980, Hill was arrested
on a narcotics-trafficking charge. To avoid going to prison for
his crimes and fearing a possible execution by his crew , Hill
became an informant and entered the U.S. Marshals' Witness Protection
Program. His testimony led to 50 convictions. |
