STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) - "Goodfellas" actor Paul Sorvino pulled a gun on his daughter's ex-boyfriend after the man pounded on her hotel door and made threats, the daughter testified Tuesday.
"He got in my father's face and said, 'Go ahead, Paul, shoot, I ain't done nothing wrong,'" Amanda Sorvino, 36, told a Monroe County judge. The judge granted her request for a protection-from-abuse order against Daniel Snee, 21.
Amanda Sorvino testified Snee threatened to kill her at a hotel Jan. 3 in Stowe, Vt.; she said she locked herself in the bathroom and called both police and her father. Her 67-year-old father showed up before police, she testified. When police arrived, the young man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, she said.
Sorvino said that she met Snee when he was hired to care for her horses and that they began dating, but that the relationship soured. She said he then began threatening her, and her father "if he ever got in the way."
Sorvino testified that although the threat happened in another state, she wanted a court order that would protect her at another home she has in Monroe County. The order lasts for three years.
Snee could not be reached for comment because he was jailed in Vermont, it was not immediately clear if he has lawyer.
Paul Sorvino, the star of 1982's "That Championship Season," did not accompany his daughter to court Tuesday. His screen credits also include roles in "Goodfellas" and "The Cooler."
He is also the father of Mira Sorvino, who won an Oscar for her role in Woody Allen's 1995 comedy "Mighty Aphrodite."
I think she made her first mistake, when as a 36 year-old woman she was dating a 21 year-old boy.
"If someone tires to kill you, well you just kill them right back".
Dude should have known better. Det. Ceretta of Law and Order never took crap from anybody.
Pics available of her?
I think it's Mira who is 36. None of this story makes sense.
Go get your shine box. Oops, wrong character...
Presumbably he has a louder siren.
"Funny how? What's funny about it? "
why, vast, it's no different than say a 28 year old teacher and a 15 year old male student. it just matters if he was HOT or not... ; )
Not only that, but he was hired help. She should look for somebody with a career next time.
Mira is 39. I believe the other is 36. Talk about desperate. What in god's name does a 21 year old have to offer a women her age?
Court orders to stay away from someone do nothing to protect the victim, usually a woman from a former spouse or former boyfriend. A gun protects a woman.
Dr. Lewinsky could have taken a lesson from how a real father acts to protect his daughter.
I think if you check you'll see he has been a defender of gun rights. I remember seeing a pic of him at a celebrty shooting event many years ago. He may be an NRA member.
Snee?...sounds like a snow job.........
I'll dig the hole.You think it'll be the first hole I dug?
I was saying the same darn thing.
