In 1980, Hill was arrested on narcotics charges and became an FBI informant. He testified against his former [[American Mafia]] associates, resulting in 50 convictions, including those of ''caporegime'' (captain) [[Paul Vario]] and [[Jimmy Burke]] on multiple charges. He had entered the Witness Protection Program in 1980, but was removed from the program in the early 1990s. Hill's life story was documented in the true crime book ''Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family'' by Nicholas Pileggi, which was subsequently adapted by Martin Scorsese into the critically acclaimed film ''Goodfellas'' in 1990. Hill was portrayed by Ray Liotta in the film.
