Don with a beard? Don't think so.


Movie looks like fun, but Garcia's bearded don character is just unbelievable; Mob rules wouldn't allow facial hair apart from a moustache. Remember the line "a Don doesn't wear shorts - it's undignified!" from Carmine Lupertazzi?

Just because beards are fashionable right now it doesn't mean they'll have to throw it on any character to look cooler.

Please, stop watching mafia movies only and actually do your research in REAL life if you have one.

You shouldn't be so quick to insult about subjects you're ill informed about.

The Italian mob has old rules about facial hair. They mostly we're against mustaches. It goes back to the "Mustache Petes" era. These "Mustache Pete" Sicilians wanted to rule the Mafia as a dictatorship while Lucky Luciano and his newer breed wanted a democracy. This is what started the Castellammarese War.


For the most part mafia members are clean shaven, but of course there are some exceptions.
