Izzy Einstein. From Wikipedia: [He and Moe Smith were] American police officers, specifically agents of the US Prohibition Unit, during the first years of the alcohol prohibition era (1920–1925). They were well known for successfully shutting down illegal speakeasies and similar drinking establishments. Izzy and Moe operated between 1920 and 1925 in New York. They were known for using disguises and made 4,392 arrests, of which 95% ended in convictions (around 4,680).

Smith's obituary in Time: "Died. Moe Smith, 73, who, with Partner Izzy Einstein, formed the 1920s' funniest and most effective team of prohibition agents. Addicted to disguises—they posed variously as vegetable vendors, gravediggers and Democratic National Convention delegates—Izzy and Moe arrested 4,000 suspected bootleggers, confiscated an estimated 5,000,000 bottles of hooch; of a stroke; in Yonkers, N.Y."[8]
Izzy and Moe's story was made into a television film, Izzy and Moe, in 1985, directed by Jackie Cooper. Jackie Gleason starred as Izzy, and Art Carney as Moe. Izzy's great-grandson appears in the film.
