Editing Fat Tony (The Simpsons) (section)

==Name==
[[File:Paul Sorvino.jpg|180px|right|thumb|Fat Tony's visual appearance was modeled after actor [[Paul Sorvino]].]]

The original Fat Tony's actual name is the source of some dispute, as several different real names have been revealed over the course of the series. In the third-season episode "[[Bart the Murderer]]", Fat Tony is referred to in a news report given by [[Kent Brockman]] as '''William''' "'''Fat Tony'''" '''Williams''', presumably an alias. In the eighth-season episode "[[The Homer They Fall]]", the announcer at Homer's boxing match against [[Drederick Tatum]] refers to Fat Tony as '''Anthony D'Amico''' (incidentally the name of one of the three Re-Recording Mixers in the end credits), which he is called later as well, for example, by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]]. In the twelfth-season episode "Insane Clown Poppy", [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Frankie the Squealer|Frankie the Squealer]] claims that Fat Tony's first name is '''Marion''', a reference to actor [[John Wayne]]'s real name, Marion Robert Morrison.<ref>(2009). Commentary for "[[Insane Clown Poppy]]", in ''The Simpsons: The Complete Twelfth Season'' [DVD]. 20th Century Fox.</ref>
