Hey, Irish!
~ Sally's last words before he is shot to death by Frank Sheeran.

Salvatore Briguglio, best known by his nickname of Sally Bugs, is a supporting character in the 2019 Netflix film The Irishman. He is an assassin for the Genovese crime family and one of the men responsible for the assassination of Jimmy Hoffa.

He was portrayed by Louis Cancelmi.

Biography[]

Sally Bugs is a henchman of corrupt union treasurer Tony Pro, Hoffa's main rival in the election for president of the Teamsters. He is known to be extremely sadistic in carrying out murders on Pro's orders, such as when he strangles an associate of Pro named Tony Three Fingers to death and shreds his body in a wood chipper.

Following Hoffa's refusal to step down as president of the Teamsters, the mob orders Frank Sheeran to kill him. Bugs is one of the men ordered to accompany Sheeran and make sure he carries out the hit. They tell Hoffa that Pro wants to meet him before tricking him into an empty house, where Frank executes him. Bugs then discreetly cremates the body.

In 1978, Bugs is seen going into an FBI office, without having told anyone he would be there. Russell Bufalino orders that he be killed as an informer. Frank and another man accordingly shoot him dead in the street before making their escape. In an ironic twist, Bugs later turns out not to have been an informer after all- he had told someone he would be there, but that person had failed to tell anyone else, making his death "a bad hit".
