Phil Cantone

Phil Cantone is the mean, cranky, arrogant racist WASP scumbag in Harlem Nights.

He was portrayed by Danny Aiello.

He is a sneaky and arrogant bastard who wants to take over the Piniback Club which Quick and Ray have worked hard all their lives for, hence making him not just a regular racist who acts out of fear but a sneaky power-hungry creep who will slice Ray and Quick if they have to.

Trivia: while a bit deceiving, Cantone is a Saxon surname, not Italian.
