GMA: Ex-Mobster Says Mob Culture Sells

April 12 -- Henry Hill says it's 21 years this month since he became a "goodfella" instead of a "badfella," but the mob turncoat says he's still watching his back.

Hill, the infamous mob informant whose life inspired Martin Scorcese's film Goodfellas, talked to Good Morning America about life on the lam, his stint in the Witness Relocation Program, and his latest endeavor, the Web site www.goodfellahenry.com. The site includes a mob survival guide of tongue-in-cheek tips such as "Best Ways to Hide A Corpse" and a chance to e-mail Hill.

On ABCNEWS' Good Morning America Hill referred to himself as a "cyberfella."

"About eight months ago I got a computer and I started to fool around", said Hill. "I was computer dumb and there was a lot of Web sites out there about me and a lot of them were inaccurate."

Despite a new window on the world, via the Web site, the 57-year-old Hill is still trying to keep a low profile.

‘An Intoxicating Lifestyle’

Hill got involved with organized crime at age 11 while growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., observing the glamorous life of the adult gangsters in his neighborhood. Soon he was part of it.

"It's an intoxicating lifestyle that sucks you in. Then you get too scared, and too in love with the money, to leave," Hill says. "All people do is fear you, and that's intoxicating. It's a strange lifestyle."

But he understands the fascination with the strange lifestyle. Yeah — Hill has to confess that he watches The Sopranos too.

Hill says the hit HBO series churns up a lot of old memories and scares him a little because it is so realistic. James Gandolfini, who plays Tony Soprano, reminds him a lot of his ex-partner James "Jimmy the Gent" Burke, except Burke was Irish, Hill says.

"He's so right on, he's scary," Hill said.

But he has seen the mob persona change over the years. In the 1970s, wise guys just wanted to hang out with celebrities. Now they want to be celebrities.

"They're the cowboys of the new millennium," Hill says.
