With the 7th pick in the 1990's Film Character draft, I select;
Ace Rothstein - Portrayed by Robert De Niro, Casino 1995
Ace, aka "Lefty Rosenthal" I feel is the most fitting pick for this draft; being it's a sports forum. Ace was considered to be one of the best sports handicappers this country has ever seen. Plus he ran the entire Tangiers casino (the Stardust), and revolutionized gambling and betting as we know it today. He was a man with real power, with real respect, knew how to use it; and most importantly he survived it all.

Running a casino is like robbing a bank with no cops around. For guys like me, Las Vegas washes away your sins. It's like a morality car wash.
