I saw him in a few other things, but I expected to see a lot more of him. A: Here's everything you need to know about Billy Drago's career: He played, as you say, the famed mob enforcer Frank Nitti in "The Untouchables" (1987), and 12 years later he played the dog catcher in "Soccer Dog: The Movie" (1999). If you had a villain role to fill, Drago could fill it, whatever the movie. Sadly, Drago died in 2019 at age 73, after a long and rich bad-guy career. If you lost sight of him, it's prob- ably because none of the other roles were quite as prestigious as the Oscar-winning classic "The Untouchables." The very next year, for example, he was hamming it up as an adversary in the Chuck Norris ("Walker, Texas Ranger") action movie "Hero and the Terror" (1988).
