I guess this might be a little irrelevant, but inquiring minds like to know you know...

Does anyone know Vinnie's heritage? Like what his background is like? I've been reading Ace Frehley's No Regrets book and he disspells the theory that he has any Asian in him. He came from a German heritage and what gives him that slight Asian look he said was from a Native American strand.

Vinnie looks like maybe he has some sort of exotic look about him, just curious if his background was known well enough.

Sure thing, Vinnie Vincent is Vincent Cusano and is of Italian heritage. He was born & raised in Bridgeport, conneticut.

VV a wog dago choc...like me & many of us here...BB's a dago wog choc...One face one race

Excellent. Thank you for that Brooklyn_Born! I should have known that, Cusano sounds like a very italian last name. Him coming from an Italian background explains a lot, why I find him so handsome.

Gee - You forgot Whop, Guido, Guinea, Meatball, Goombah, Paisano, Bello, Guappo, Tamarro, Truzzo

LOL

Takes one to know one

KeV, have you ever seen the movie The Wanderers with Ken Wahl from '79?? There's a funny scene in the class room which is divided 50/50 between Italians and African Americans... The names you listed here make an appearance in that film

Well.....I don't think Ace really disspells the theory he has Asian in him. They've discovered Asian DNA in full blooded Native Americans. Proving that Indians crossed an ice bridge into America.

Did he say he was Cherokee? I'm dying to know if he is. I've always thought his wide, high cheek bones looked Cherokee. His eyes have the half almond shape. And his hair is similar to the Cherokee hair. It's between straight and wavy, I call it "stravy".

Notice the similarity in cheek bones?

Vinnie Italian / Irish I believe . Just like peter criss and my wife. My wife grew up on the same street peter did on the greenpoint/williamsburg border . Most parts of the north east that were Irish turn of the last century were then taken over by Italians which is why so many new yorkers and new englanders are Italian Irish. The area peter grew up was pretty tough until the mid 90s and now its the coolest hippest part of new York city's 5 boroughs . It's band and artist central now.

Now I know why ace hangs out at the mohegan sun reservation . Lol

Ha. I am Italian, Welsh, Mexican and Kozack/Hungarian whatever that is, I think its where borat is from. . I didn't get the Irish.

Ooo great point for sure!!! Maybe it was such a small strand that Ace just doesn't even realize it. Very intriguing too. I don't believe that Ace went specifically into what tribe he had, but looking at the photographs you posted, he does have those cheek bones, and his eyes. I really like that description. 'stravy.' Excellent!

I like the eyes, and the jaw structure on Italian guys.

Al Pacino was sooo good looking when he was younger. I like the dark features about them, the dark eyes and hair. Makes them look mysterious.

My most favorite actor of all time.. he is truly unique...

He is one of my most favourite actors too! I always like the bad guy types...

I love his ability to go from playing a ruthless coked up kingpin like Tony Montana to a blind war veteran in Scent of a woman and then back into a character like Carlito Brigante in Carlitos Way.., the guy is an inspiration...!

He is a very versatile actor for sure. Or his role in 'Frankie And Johnny' Its at least amusing... Okay, back to my corner I go...

I really dug how he warmed up Pfeiffers pained character in Frankie & Johnny...it was cool seeing him dance Greek style too, amusing for me

Haha it was! I thought they had a nice chemistry. I wonder if they saw each other in real life? I am not sure. But Al Pacino in his gangster films are the greatest. I remember sitting up all night on a school night watching Scarface and then going to school the next day, half awake. Good times.

For sure! That's a 3 hour flick The problem is with that film that I can't stop imitating him after I see it..chu know mang??

LOL Oh I know exactly what you mean. XD The numerous water pistol fights I have had...Say hello to my little friend...yes I do know all too well what you mean.

Plus, that's the only film where the home office has a gun rack complete with a machine gun w/grenade launcher! That's outta hand

I am more of a dustin Hoffman Paul Newman and Christopher Lloyd kind of guy. De niro in the 70s good but now I can not watch him.

It's just a hypothesis, a guess....
