Curtis personally located and dug up the body of Colombo underboss Billy Cutolo, missing for more than 9 years. A weaponry and tactical expert as a former infantry captain, platoon leader, and Commander, he is also an acknowledged expert on the use of confidential informants, flipping violent criminals into cooperators, and witness protection. The New York Daily News has called Curtis "a hard-charging FBI agent" who "left the crime family in ruins after more than a decade of mob-busting."
