Best character on the show
R.I.P., Paulie. His real-life brother is a priest, and a conservative.
RIP
Mix it with the relish
Freegards
Him, Liotta, & Caan have all died in the last 3 weeks. All played members of the mob. Is there a link to the mob being behind this?
RIP, Sirico.
Not Paulie! His character was so good. The hair!
From Wikipedia:
"Sirico was convicted of several crimes and had been arrested 28 times, including for disorderly conduct, assault, and robbery, before taking up acting. On February 27, 1970, he was arrested at a restaurant, and found with a .32 caliber revolver on his person. In 1971, he was indicted for extortion, coercion and felony weapons possession, convicted, and sentenced to four years in prison, of which he served 20 months at Sing Sing. According to a court transcript at the time of his sentencing, Sirico was the owner of a discotheque in Manhattan, and also had pending charges for criminal possession of a dangerous drug. Sirico has stated that he was visited by an acting troupe composed of ex-convicts during his imprisonment, which inspired him to give acting a try."
Corporal Agarn and Paulie Walnuts lost on the same day :(
Paulie was an amazing character. I wonder how much acting he did or was it largely his own persona.I loved his Ohio adventure in one episode.
Also, I received communion from his brother Robert Sirico once, many years ago.
RIP Tony. A crook, then an actor playing a crook. What a life!

Those Gangsta Actas were so cool.
OMG. A true bad-ass.
Waddayagonnado?
RIP.
OH!
“Ride the painted pony let the spinning wheel spin.”
