In the 1990 film Dick Tracy, Itchy was played by Ed O'Ross. Itchy was one of Big Boy Caprice's top lieutenants, alongside Flattop. He and Flattop killed five criminals from a rival gang at the beginning of the movie and left a message for Dick Tracy. They later abducted Tracy and attempted to kill him by leaving him tied up in Tess' basement with the boiler broken, expecting that Tracy would die in the subsequent explosion. The Kid managed to save him. Itchy, like many of the other members of Big Boy's gang in the movie, met his end in a fiery shootout with Dick Tracy and the police. Itchy displayed some talent for disguising his voice, as he impersonated a woman from the city orphanage as part of his ruse to abduct Tracy.
