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.

I’ve got a bit of Prosopagnosia, so this type of thing is difficult for me. So I cheated and look at the file name. Raquel Welch?! I’m not sure I would have ever guessed that.

I still recall that old photo of her in the deerskin bikini in one of her films.

Seems like a million years ago.

You have an excuse for not recognizing her but even if you didn’t have that I think it might have been difficult. Age can be wicked cruel.

I just hope it isn’t Barbara Eden...😁

She’s only 2-years older than me...

Maybe Robert De Niro will be next.
Joe Pesci may end up in a cornfield.

Considering she has no makeup on her, you could do a lot worse at that age.

It is kind of depressing to me in a way. What chance do I have not to look like an old hag at 80 when such a beautiful woman feels the ravages of time.

Meanwhile, even though airbrushed..JLO looks hot at 53.

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.

Amen. And he's a good singer, having produced some albums.

I’ve been here since ‘98 and I’m 74

I’ve been here since 2000 (after long lurking), and will be 74 soon.

“#1.. I thought Paul Sorvino was already dead.”

Me, too. I had to check to make sure this wasn’t an old thread that got resurrected.

Anyway, I always thought Paul Sorvino was a terrific actor. May he rest in peace.

Raquel??

Wow....I don’t recognize her without her wig :-)

[jmacusa]

When Robert De Niro dies I’ll do hand springs across my lawn.
