Serrone learned lots from working alongside legends like Robert de Niro and of course Joe Pesci, who, Serrone recalls was the polar opposite of his dangerously unhinged character Tommy DeVito.īut Serrone failed to capitalize on his big break. Serrone turned 13 during filming but portrayed Hill at a range of ages, until Ray Liotta took over as the 21-year-old Henry. He'd never auditioned for an acting role of any kind when he got hand picked out of thousands to play the infamous New York mobster-turned-FBI-informant, Hill.
Serrone was just 12 when he won the role of Little Henry in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated mobster movie. Classic: Chris Serrone as he is now, inserted into publicity material for the original release of Goodfellas wtih (far left) Ray Liotta, (second right) Robert De Niro and (right) Joe Pesci
