David "Noodles" Aaronson is the main protagonist of the critically acclaimed 1984 gangster film, Once Upon a Time in America. Despite being the main protagonist of the film, he is a great example of a tragic villain protagonist. He is a violent, ruthless gangster who steals, robs, and murders as a livelihood. He even commits rape at one point in the film, though he quickly feels remorse and guilt for it. However, he feels guilt for his actions and he ends up being miserable for 35 years and he did genuinely care about his friends, which puts him as a tragic and anti-villain. In 1968, he is called back for one last hit, building up to nearly four hours, where it is revealed that his supposedly deceased friend Max hired him to kill him since he was targeted by the Syndicate and was only willing to accept being shot by Noodles, as he betrayed him and murdered his friends, leaving his former best friend to live 35 years of misery.

He was portrayed by legendary Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro, who also played Vito Corleone, Jake LaMotta, Travis Bickle, and Jimmy Conway.
