Paul Sorvino, an imposing actor who specialized in playing crooks and cops like Paulie Cicero in “Goodfellas” and the NYPD sergeant Phil Cerretta on “Law & Order,” has died. He was 83.

His publicist Roger Neal said he died Monday morning in Indiana of natural causes.

“Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage,” his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, said in a statement.

He had work on getting a certain “gangster” look for Goodfellas.

I don’t know about that. Pesci came out of retirement to absolutely steal the show on “The Irishman”

I remember him playing the reverend in “Oh God”. Off the top of my head, Teri Garr (John Denver’s character’s wife) and William Daniels (the Food World grocery store manager where John Denver’s character worked) seem to be the only main cast members of that movie still with us, as John Denver, George Burns, Dinah Shore, Donald Pleasance, Barry Sullivan, and now Sorvino have since passed on.

Dang, good actor who made that Paulie role in Goodfellas so memorable. The prison dinner scene is epic.

Rest in peace.
