For me, this character takes the cake as the scariest mob boss put on film. He's not some yelling, screaming unhinged Joe Pesci psycho. Instead he's calm, calculating, and pure evil. He can go from being a warm, grandfatherly figure to cold and reptilian in the snap of a freaking finger. That whole speech to Frank after murdering his friendchilling stuff. Son of a b*tch got what was coming to him in the end though.
Take him to the little roomfor the questioning. -

I had no idea this was Robert Prosky's first film. At age 50!
Wonder what he was doing before that.
He absolutely nails the character of Leo.
Warm on the outside, but you f with him, and he shows you what a cruel, heartless b astard he is underneath.
I know Frank plays by his own rules, but if he agreed to keep working with Leo, would Leo have kept his end of the bargain?
You know the supposed "investments in shopping centers", etc.?
Up until that point, Leo seemed to really like Frank, and appeared to want to be a partner with him.
