Goodfellas actor Frank Silvero (“Frankie Carbone”) should know that nobody likes a rat.

Silvero is suing The Simpsons for a staggering $250 million saying its “Mafia Louie” character shares too many similarities with his Goodfellas character. This wouldn’t be the first lawsuit of its kind (see: Lindsay Lohan suing Grand Theft Auto for a character she thought was based off her.)

More laughable than the lawsuit is the fact that Silvero waited twenty-odd years to say something, since the “Louie” character has existed since 1991. You can see the character below (on the left.)
