He was nicknamed "Louie the couch" by FBI agent's who used to listen to a bug planted in his apartment. Gelfuso was always laying down on his couch while he was watching soap opera's and would talk to the soap show characters, and he would even cry at some of the sentimental scenes. Gelfuso really had the Fed's almost pissing their pants with laughter, when he said to a soap character who was claiming she was a virgin to her boyfriend, "you fuckin' douchebag, your cherry is so far up your ass, you can use it for a tailgate." Gelfuso died in 2000 in North Hollywood of natural causes.
