## Trivia

* He originally appeared in "The Simpsons."
* When he was little boy growing up in Trenton, New Jersey, his father, Giuseppe Silencio/Joseph Schmallippe, was a mafia capo originally from Sicily, Italy along with his mother, Lucille Silencio/Lucy Schmallippe, and his grandmother, Granny Juliet Silencio/Granny Juliet Schmallippe, even though Lucy was originally born and briefly raised in Germany with her migrating parents of Italian descent. It was then that after Johnny's treacherous uncle attempted to frame Joseph for pickpocketing wallets in retaliation over Joseph choosing Johnny to be the next capo in line, but when Joseph eventually cleared his name with the police's help and put Johnny's uncle in jail, his uncle, however, was bailed out by his partners, and then during a sit-down at Johnny's home, Johnny's uncle shot Joseph to death in front of Johnny, leaving Lucy into becoming a widow and Juliet a motherless woman. But when Johnny tried to shoot his uncle, he heartbreakingly hesitated and couldn't bring himself to do it because he's family, resulting his uncle to get away, only to then be arrested eventually. This moment eventually came to be of importance to Johnny's growing character development in Season 2's two-part episode, "Parent For a Day."
* In Seasons 1-3, Johnny starts out as a mid-aged young man. Yet, in Season 3’s last episode, Season 4’s first episode and the very beginning and very end of the movie, he is a mid-aged old man, while in the rest of Season 4 and the movie, he is a mid-aged young man.
* Unlike Fat Tony, Legs, and Louie, Johnny was born and raised in Trenton, as mentioned above, until he and his mother, Lucille Silencio/Lucy Schmallippe, and his grandmother, Granny Juliet Silencio/Granny Juliet Schmallippe, moved to Seattle when he was 11 years old, where he was eventually taken in by the Seattle Mafia by Fat Tony, Legs, and Louie after Johnny, himself, impressed them and the Seattle Mafia with his laconic and reticent skills on not being a "Squealer," compared to their other capo, Frankie the Squealer. It was then that Johnny, as he fit in with the Seattle Mafia, learned how to be trusting towards others besides his family.
* Johnny once exclaimed Alexei Van Der Polk's exclamation catchphrase, "Av guds fasa!", (Translation; "By God's horror!") in one episode, surprising everyone else.
* Despite his reputation as the secretive capo, Johnny does, however, choose to say something whenever it benefits himself, Regina, their friends, family, and/or acquaintances, as revealed by himself, Regina, and the Seattle Mafia when finally questioned about it once.
