'Kill The Irishman'   (Ireland needs a few Danny Greenes against the Jew IMF about now...--CSR )  

Kill the Irishman is a crime drama film directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer. The film is based on the story of Irish mob boss Danny Greene, and is adapted from the book To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia (1998)[3] by Rick Porrello.

Plot

The film is a biopic of the Irish-American mob boss and FBI informant Danny Greene, who tried to shoot his way to the top of Cleveland's criminal underworld during the late 1970s.

Kill the Irishman
By Nick Pinkerton Thursday, Mar 10 2011

KILL THE IRISHMAN With post-Goodfellas crime-movie tropes dyed for St. Patrick's Day, this Ballad of Danny Greene attempts to enshrine the Irish-American strongman, a real-life folk hero among mob-lore nerds and Cleveland teamsters for his Rasputin-like resilience through multiple assassination attempts. Kill the Irishman aims to come out bumping chests in upstart insouciance, hoping to abet Greene's famous bravado. But though director Jonathan Hensleigh (The Punisher) perks up when filming violence, the atmosphere throughout is past-prime, stymieing any strut. Playing Greene from his 20s through the end of his life, 46-year-old Ray Stevenson is older than Greene actually lived to be. The action is set in a weed-eaten period Cleveland (1960–77), apparently the vacant-lot capital of the world (and recognizably not actually Clevo). In a purely extraneous detective part, Val Kilmer narrates; he's briefly seen at a sparsely extra-ed Slavic festival that, along with some wop-mick-polack ball-busting and an Irish widow off the Warners lot circa 1946, comprises the extent of attempting a feel for the city and its ethnic enclaves. Stevenson squares off against grandfatherly Italian-American character actors and Christopher Walken's Jewish racketeer Shondor Birns, whose claim to have bagged Marilyn Monroe is lifted from the gossipy autobiography of Cleveland-born screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, who might have given this material the (low-)life it lacks.

Danny = Daniel. Greene = very common Jewish surname. Pull the other one!

yeah, he's a fugazi Irishmen. Bunch of them in the midwest. The only area that still has 100% Irish people is Eastern New England. Most of the midwest is Germans and Scandinavians. Of course the original stock in the US was English but I seriously doubt there is anyone in the US with 100% English ancestry.

They caught James "Whitey"  Bulger today. It's a pretty big deal. This guy was 81 years old and manged to evade the most sophisticated investigation force in the world(FBI) for more than a decade. He had been on the run since the mid 90's. He used to funnel money to the IRA also. I doubt the media will bring that up but just Google+Whitey Bulger, IRA

Teen `Peter Pan' actor skips show for role as High Holy Days chazzan
by LESLEY PEARL, Bulletin Staff

Follow j. on         and     

After the final curtain call of the Marin Shakespeare Company's production of "Peter Pan," Danny Greene will scrub off his makeup, toss aside his Michael Darling costume, knot his tie and dash off just in time to hear Kol Nidre.

The eighth-grader at Miller Creek Middle School and member of Congregation Rodef Sholom, both in San Rafael, isn't fazed by the conflicts between being both actor and Jew.

After all, this is the kid who accepted his most recent role only after stipulating that his understudy must stand in for him on Erev Rosh Hashanah.

"I thought about it and I wanted to be more committed to my religion than to a play," said Greene of this decision. "It wasn't really an option" to perform during the High Holy Days.

In fact, when another cast member, a Jewish adult, asked him why he was missing a performance, suggesting that the 13-year-old was not totally committed to the play, Greene replied, "I have a bigger commitment to Judaism."

"Touché. You got me there," the other actor said.

Greene added, "I love to act but I also love Judaism."

Sort of a Sandy Koufax for the '90s, the young actor attributes his religious passion to "a combination of all things."

Greene recalls lovingly lighting Shabbat candles, attending Jewish preschool, celebrating Passover at his aunt's home and Rosh Hashanah in his own, and traveling to Israel last spring. He is a madrich (teaching assistant) at Rodef Sholom and spends summers at Camp Swig in Saratoga.

To date, Greene has played the butler in Marilyn Izdebski Productions' "Singin' In the Rain," and the Earl of Kent in "King Lear" at school. Portraying a "lost boy" in "Peter Pan" is his biggest break.

But even a first shot at the Marin Shakespeare Company couldn't keep Greene away from Jewish camp. Not wishing to forgo his art, Greene arranged to leave Swig for play rehearsals when necessary -- such departures are highly unusual.

Upon his return to San Rafael a few weeks ago, Greene began practicing his haftorah for second-day Rosh Hashanah services. Rodef Sholom Cantor David Margules had made Greene a tape that would help him learn the melodies, but Greene was determined to learn the tropes.

"It was a big accomplishment. I'm like my own chazzan [cantor]," Greene said.

Lest he seem a bit too adult, Greene added that he's excited to be kicking around the soccer ball on his school team and flying around onstage with "Peter Pan" siblings Wendy and John.

"It's fairy dust," he said of his in-the-air theatrical tricks.

Far more difficult will be the Yom Kippur fast. Greene celebrated his bar mitzvah last year and, as a Jewish adult, is obligated to fast for the first time.

"I'm determined" to do it, he said.

YIKES! He really is a Jew.

Some notes on  Shondor:

Cleveland mob leaders included Moe Dalitz, Morris Kleinman, Sam Tucker, and Lou Rothkopf. After prohibition, "the Cleveland mob joined with Lansky and his confederates ... and formed the core of the most sophisticated national crime syndicate in America." [BLOCK, A., p. 165] Shondor Birns (Szandor Birnstein) was another prominent Cleveland mobster, lasting in the criminal underworld for decades til 1975, when he was assassinated by a car bomb. In early years, he was part of the Maxie Diamond (also Jewish) gang. Among Birns' crime partners was Mervin Gold who "was accused of defrauding banks and the Small Business Administration by using stolen Canadian bonds as collateral for loans. He fled to Israel," but eventually returned. Birns, noted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer for his reputation as a "charming killer," was suspected of Gold's eventual murder. [MCGUANGLE, F., 7-11-99, p. 5H]

Reading, Pennsylvania? As non-Jewish mobster Patsy Lepera recounted in his autobiography:

"Reading at that time, in the thirties and forties, was run by the Minkers --
Abe and his brother Izzy. They had a nephew named Alex Fudeman
who fronted for them ... Even though my father was connected right
to Sicily, he had to do what the Jews wanted done in Reading, because
that was their town. They eliminated the Italians. At one time it was
a two-mob town ... One thing I learn as I go through life is if you come
up against a Jew or an Italian, you check him out. You don't do nothing
against him -- you check him out careful. Jews don't belong to the [Italian]
mob, but they're connected strong. An awful lot of Jews are connected
strong." [LEPERA, P., 1974, p. 7-8]
