John Cassisi – 58 – Business Executive
Actor John Cassisi is best remembered for his portrayal of Fat Sam in the 1976 comedy film Bugsy Malone alongside Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. He was just a student when the film’s director Alan Parker discovered him at his alma mater, Brooklyn Catholic School. When Parker spoke about casting Cassisi for the role, “He was a natural, and I knew right away that we had our Fat Sam.” His next and final acting credit came from 1977’s television series Fish. Cassisi has since retired from acting and the entertainment business.
The fifty-eight-year-old Cassisi moved on to his next calling in the world of construction. He climbed his way up the corporate ladder and served as Citigroup’s Director of Global Construction from 2012 up until 2014. He has been away from the limelight for some time now. He reportedly got married and has three children.
