Johnny Ola (1890-1958) is a fictional character appearing in Francis Ford Coppola's and Mario Puzo's film The Godfather Part II. Ola was portrayed by actor Dominic Chianese.
Johnny Ola was a Sicilian mobster and right hand man to Jewish mobster Hyman Roth. He was part of the plan to assassinate Michael Corleone along with Roth and Michael's brother Fredo Corleone. When Michael asked if Fredo and Johnny had ever met, they denied knowing each other. While viewing a live sex show in Havana, Michael overheard Fredo imply that Ola had shown him the venue (contradictory to Fredo telling Michael they hadn't met). Michael's bodyguard was sent to kill Ola and Roth once this was heard because now he knew who was responsible for the attempted assassination. As Johnny Ola was on his balcony, he was strangled with a wooden coat hanger wielded by Michael's bodyguard.
Johnny Ola was based on real life mobster Vincent Alo who was Meyer Lansky's right hand man.
