Robbie is an actor. According to his IMDb, he is an actor, known for Goodfellas (1990), Chillerama (2011), and I Was a Teenage Werebear (2011). Bobby played his famous father in the film Goodfellas (1990). Some well-known actors, such as Henny Youngman and Jerry Vale, play themselves in the film.
However, the director couldn’t try that with crooner Bobby Vinton, who was too old at the time of filming to play a younger version of himself. When Goodfellas was made, Bobby was 55 years old and wasn’t best suited to play himself. The director, fortunately, had another option: he saw the iconic singer’s young son who was a carbon copy of his father, and didn’t hesitate to take that risk. Vinton is played in the film by Robbie Vinton, Bobby’s son, and it was an excellent choice.
