Vincent "Chin" Gigante

Played By Vincent D’Onofrio

 

Vincent D’Onofrio stars in GODFATHER OF HARLEM as “Vincent ‘Chin’ Gigante,” a former professional boxer, considered dimwitted, who works his way from enforcer/hitman to top boss of the Genovese crime family.  He feigns a low IQ and even insanity to confound his rivals and avoid prosecution, but it’s all a cover for a razor-sharp criminal mind.  He’s “new generation” Mafia, entirely comfortable with peddling drugs. Like his nemesis Bumpy Johnson, his Achilles heel is his troubled, rebellious young daughter.
