Frank Sivero has filed a 250 million dollar lawsuit against Fox Television Studios over the mafioso character on 'The Simpsons.'
The 62-year-old actor claimed that the character Louie of 'The Simpsons', who first appeared in an episode entitled 'Bart the Murderer' on Oct. 10, 1991, is copy of his character Frankie Carbone that he played in the classic 1990 film 'Goodfellas,' TMZ.com reported.
According to Sivero's lawsuit against FOX, the character appeared in 15 more episodes between his debut and April 27, 2014 and so he is suing for a whopping 6,250,000 dollars per episode.
Sivero added in the suit that since he lived in the same apartment complex as some of the 'Simpsons' writers back in 1989, they knew all about the character that he "created and developed" for 'Goodfellas.
