Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought 25 bouts between 1944 and 1947.  He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family.  Gigante was one of five brothers: Mario, Pasquale, Ralph and he all became mobsters in the Luciano family, forerunner of the Genovese family.  Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a priest.  Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957.
