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.

“Romy And Michelle’s High School Reunion” still cracks me up. It’s so stupid it’s good. Mira Sorvino is gorgeous in it.

She had an interesting episode on “House” once, too.

“pesci died years ago... no wait, that was just his career... sorry.”

Oh, gee, what a display of wit!

Pesci is 79, he has had a long and impressive career in an industry where the vast majority of actors come and go without ever really being noticed.

is that Al pacino? His legs look weird. Dude owes his career to Ruddy and Coppola who fought Evans to give him the role in Godfather.

Why I always will respect Joe Pesci.

The week after Cue Ball tore up the Pope's picture on SNL..... "She was very lucky it wasn't my show, because if it was my show, I would have gave her such a smack."

Be 89 in 4 months...
Two more years and I’ll be considered a senior citizen...

He also played Bruce Willis’ father in a couple of “Moonlighting” episodes in the ‘80s.

One taste... Is never enough of The Stuff!

(that also applies to Sorvino’s movie roles. He was a really good actor.) :(

He had a short lived series Bert D’Angelo Superstar as well.

The early years of L&O were the best ones.

My father the great Paul Sorvino has passed. My heart is rent asunder- a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. I’m sending you love in the stars Dad as you ascend.— Mira Sorvino (@MiraSorvino) July 25, 2022

Sounds like Paul did a good job raising Mira. Married since 2004, with 4 kids, said “No” to Weinstein.

More power to you. Age does us all in...some faster than others. At over 80 years old... You might not even be able to guess who this is

DeNiro would be a much bigger, tougher man if he added about 6 inches to the lifts on his shoes.
