Businessman and philanthropist Al Capone was born 125 years ago today.  A beloved figure in Chicago and a noted family man, Capone was an early victim of the IRS and he spent what should have been the best years of his life locked away in a federal prison.

Many films have been inspired by Capone’s story and many notable actors have played him.  In 1987’s The Untouchables, Robert De Niro brought Capone to life and, in a memorable scene, he showed how to deal with an employee who was not carrying his weight.
