You ever watch Goodfellas and think that maybe Tommy's the way he was because he was insecure about his height and is trying to overcompensate for that?
Nope. His real-life model Tommy DeSimone was over a foot taller than Joe Pesci, and before you say that maybe Martin Scorsese changed some things about him for the movie, he really didn't. According to The Vile Eye video I just watched, his surname and his appearance seem to have been the only things changed in the adaptation (and the latter is probably just because Marty cast Joe Pesci.) And, bear in mind, The Vile Eye tends to be very good with comparing and contrasting between different versions of the same character.
