Branimir202 1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Vercetti is very Italian sounding but he has a pretty brown complexion Unless he's Sicilian or Southern Italian? he's got a very Hawaiian look to him though lol Link to post Share on other sites
shahmen 1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Tommy is based and voiced by Ray Liotta and he is born in Newark, New Jersey.So not much Italian Edited January 7, 2011 by kizzck Link to post Share on other sites

General Scrotum 1,009 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Tommy is based and voiced by Ray Liotta and he is born in Newark, New Jersey.So not much Italian Yeah but, Vercetti sounds very Italian. Tommy Vercetti is Italian (as he was working for the Sindacco Family, a mafia family, and as everyone knows, the mafia are a band of Italians (apart from the Russian Mafia)). Ray Liotta, while his name second name (Liotta) seems Italian, is American, if the information you gave us is true (didn't really care about knowing Tommy voice actor).

buzbegone 19 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 GTA Wikia reckons he's 3/4 Italian. I don't remember however any mention of his parents. Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 1,588 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I reckon Vercetti is only half Italian - possibly on his father's side - and that when the Forellis discovered this it prevented Tommy from becoming a Made Man, thus leading to them needing to kill him rather than tell him he cannot be accepted into the family. Plus, Tommy always shouts "Blame my mother - I do". Link to post Share on other sites
Tycek 4,520 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 But Tommy said that he was part of the family. Beside he spent only 15 years inside, which would be strange if he wasn't a made man. I believe he was full italian, but born in US. Link to post Share on other sites
JDiaz 0 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I always though he was from Southern Italy. There people have slightly darker skin but and Italian names :-) Link to post Share on other sites

Docfaustino 321 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Tommy was made, right? If so then he was full Italian. I played more of LCS than Vice, I'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Claude Speed. 10 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) GTA Wikia reckons he's 3/4 Italian. I don't remember however any mention of his parents. GTA Wiki is full of sh*t, most stuff that you didn't hear in the game and is mentioned in their articles is not based on evidence. Just look at all the bullsh*t it says about Tommy's parents, it's all made up. Edited January 20, 2011 by Claude Speed. Link to post Share on other sites

MyDog 129 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He's Italian, with American blood, or at least just born in America. C'mon, VERCETTI! Link to post Share on other sites
Cash High 8 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Definitely Italian. People forget or simply don't know that Tommy used to work for the Forelli Crime Family back in Portland, Liberty City. He had just got out of prison for being the "Harwood Butcher" from the multiple murders he committed. Probably was a made man in the Forelli Crime Family, and seeing as you have to be full Italian to be an official member of an Italian crime family, he is/was definitely Italian.

MyDog 129 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He was just 20 years old when the Harwood slaughter happened. I doubt that he was a made man then... Link to post Share on other sites
Cash High 8 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He was just 20 years old when the Harwood slaughter happened. I doubt that he was a made man then... Of course. I'm not saying that he was a made man during the Harwood Butcher incident. I meant that he probably was made right after he got out in '86' at the age of 36. I couldn't see Sonny Forelli sending someone as low as a 'family associate' down to Vice City to secure a million(s) dollar drug deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Chugboat 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 His main nationality is definitely Italian. One of the quotes Tommy sometimes says if you pick up a hooker is "I'm an Italian, do I get a special rate?" and there are one or two others similar to that. Link to post Share on other sites

Sanjeem 11 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Whatever the case "Vercetti" is an Italian name and I'm pretty sure of that because I myself am Italian. His name is also pronounced "Ver-Chetti" and that's that. Whether he was full Italian or half nobody knows but since we don't know anything else about his backround we have to asume he's Italian-American. He also works for a Mafia family and seems closely affiliated with them even if he's not a made man which gives another clue that he's of Italian descent.

Vega LVI 312 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Vercetti is pronounced ver-SHET-ee. The SH sound in Vercetti is very low so it does sound like ver-SET-ee. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe in the part of America you come from, but in Italy it's pronounced "Ver-Chetti" alright, simple as. I was just making the point in the 1st place his Italian origin is all we know about him. It's Dumb morons who start making up things like "Ooo he looks more Hawaian so he can't be Italian!". Link to post Share on other sites
