Goodfellas sighting: The Office, S6, the episode about the insurance salesman: immediately recognized the salesman--and possible Mafia soldier--as Frenchy. ("Security? You're looking at it. It's a joke. I'm the midnight to eight man.") Mike Starr is the guy's name. Didn't realize he was also in Miller's Crossing--can't get an image to confirm, but I think he's the goon who feels so bad about having to pummel Gabriel Byrne in the warehouse.

Another one I now realize is him: Born on the Fourth of July, the guy in the bar who ridicules Cruise about his war experiences.

There's actually quite a few points of similarity between "GoodFellas" and "Miller's Crossing":
- Gangster drama released in late September of 1990
- Gangsters all primarily delineated as Irish/Italian/Jewish
- Mike Starr as a character named "Frankie" and "Frenchie", two names that could both be considered slang for "Francophone"
- Irish protagonist with Jewish love interest
- Murder of a character known for his toupee
- "Oh Danny Boy" is heard, either sung or played on a Victrola
- Corpse left in wooded area, and later revisited by protagonist, who succumbs to vomiting
- Both Tom Regan and Lois insist on retrieving their forgotten hats
