Watching The Sopranos I swore that Frank Vincent was in Snatch, as well as Out of Sight, Goodfellas and Casino. Only after looking up the Snatch imdb list did I realise that it was Farina in both Out of Sight and Snatch. Very similar.

My advice to you (and all who agree with you) is to stop smoking crack!

I have to ignore your advise there because smoking crack is not only fun and socially acceptable but it is also good for you

For a long time i always got them mixed up. I thought Frank Vincent was Irish or something, i wonder what his real i\talian name is.

His name is Frank Vincent Gattuso. Says it in his IMDb profile.
He doesn't look anything like Dennis Farina. He is a nicer looking man than Farina. He has a straight aqualine nose, whereas Farina's nose is kind of bulbous, and he has a pock-marked complexion. Maybe it's the hair that is confusing you guys.
Alim: She still keeps plastic on the furniture.
Cary Grant: It keeps the evil fresh.

He obviously DOES look like him if so many people confuse the two.

Now that you all have mentioned it I can see a resemblance to D. Farina. Of course Tony Soprano thinks he looks like the Shah of Iran.

I think the confusion comes from the Billy Batts character having a mustache and looking like Dennis Farina, their mannerism are very similar, and they play in the same type of movies.

No way these two look alike. Dennis Farina has a way more gentle face expression. Vincent to me is the ultimate definition of a GUAPPO!!
Guappo(from the dialect of Naples, Italy):a noun meaning bad guy, "the man", and so on

He totally looks like Farina in Goodfellas. My friend and I were just crediting it to Farina as it being his best role, when, golly gee, it wasn't even his role.

It just goes to show that a lot of us retain mannerisms and "style", as opposed to distinct facial features. Which is why sometimes people mistake you for friends they've known for years
I hadn't given it any thought, but realised they were two different people only yesterday

After reading this thread I looked at my tape copy of Goodfellas, and I think Billy Bats looks more like Farina than Vincent. So I fast-forwarded to the credits to check - but there weren't any! I taped the film from TV, and they must have cut the credits to shorten it. So can someone check the credits on the official video/DVD release and settle this once and for all??

If they made a biopic of Tony Bennett, Frank Vincent is the man to play him.

I knew of both Farina and Vincent, but I too thought Farina played the part of Billy Batts in Goodfellas.
Like someone else said, the mustache and the mannerisms were very similar to how Farina usually acts - or at least how I picture him acting.
