Willie the Actor Sutton

William "Willie" Sutton (June 30, 1901 – November 2, 1980) was a prolific American bank robber. During his forty-year criminal career he stole an estimated $2 million, and eventually spent more than half of his adult life in prison and escaped three times.

For his talent at executing robberies in disguises, he gained two nicknames, "Willie the Actor" and "Slick Willie." 

Sutton is known for saying that he robbed banks "because that's where the money is."
