mainstream popularity in the late 1950s with a string of crossover singles that

Darrow was born Anthony

Borgese and grew up in the East New York

section of Brooklyn.

Darrow had plenty of opportunity to observe would-be mobsters and their

attitudes while growing up in his neighborhood in Brooklyn. As a teenager he

gravitated towards show business, entering and winning talent shows while

working odd jobs. After ten years of singing in nightclubs, Darrow received an

offer to appear in what turned out to be a cult film, Street Trash.

He played a mobster in the film. Several months after Street Trash,

Darrow was contacted by the film director Martin

Scorsese. It turned out that Scorsese had seen Street Trash

and wanted him to audition for a role in Goodfellas.

He was successful, and was cast as the owner of the Bamboo Lounge, Sonny.

Darrow was also in the Woody Allen films Bullets over Broadway, Mighty

Aphrodite, Deconstructing Harry, Small Time

Crooks and Sweet and

Lowdown. In 1999, Darrow played a large role in Analyze This

with Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal.

The following year, he appeared in Mickey Blue

Eyes with Hugh Grant, and got another big role as mobster

Larry Barese

in the HBO

hit series The Sopranos, which he was on for the

entire series run (1999–2007). More recently, Darrow starred in the independent

film Lynch Mob. In June 2009, Darrow was charged with extortion in a

2004 incident. Along with Gambino crime family soldier Joseph

"Joey Boy" Orlando and associate Giovanni "Johnny"

Monteleone, Darrow was accused of ordering the maiming of a man in Monticello, New York who owed money to a loan shark.

Darrow and Orlando both pleaded guilty in federal court to these charges in

February, 2011 in exchange for a sentence of up to 33 months, however

Monteleone cooperated with the FBI. At sentencing, Darrow's attorney

successfully argued that Darrow's 50+ year history of community service,

medical condition, and lack of prior criminal history warranted a sentence of

house arrest, followed by a period of probation. Orlando was sentenced to 51

months in prison and Darrow received six months of house arrest.
