Tony Sirico
Known for
Tony Sirico lived the life before he played it: born in Brooklyn in 1942, he served prison time in his youth before discovering acting, a biography that lent unmistakable authenticity to Paulie Walnuts, the superstitious, silver-winged enforcer he played across all six seasons of 'The Sopranos' (1999-2007). Earlier he appeared in 'Goodfellas' (1990) and became a regular in Woody Allen's ensembles, from 'Bullets Over Broadway' (1994) to 'Café Society' (2016), plus voice work on 'Family Guy'. He died in 2022. Nobody delivered paranoid mob-guy logic with more deadpan conviction.
