Sad to hear this, loved his character as Paulie Walnuts on the Sopranos, always made me laugh.  Rest in eternal peace, Mr Sirico.

He was great in The Sopranos.

 

Also, Larry Storch from F Troop passed away today.  He was 99.  

 

May they both rest in peace.


@twinsister  Thanks, hadn't seen that. My dad always liked him.

One of my favorite Sopranos episodes was "Pine Barrens" that featured "Paulie" and "Christopher" out in the wilds of the pine barrens. So darn funny! RIP Paulie.

Anybody remember when Uncle Jr. who couldn't stand Tony's mother

said "that woman could fall in the sewer and come up with gold bracelets" ?     I laughed my rear off and always remembered that.

 

Man, she was a horror. All she could do was gripe.

I'll always remember her telling Anthony jr, "It's all a big nothing. What makes you so special?" She was a piece of work. The biggest gangster of them all.

silkyk, we just watched the "Pine Barrens" episode again.  You are so right -- amusing beyond words.

 

When Paulie, with his limited comprehension and propensity to utter malapropisms, relayed to Christopher his conversation with Tony, I laughed so hard:  "He killed 16 Czechoslovakians. The guy was an interior decorator. “

She looked and acted just like my paternal grandmother. My mother and we kids couldn't stand her.  Bessie. From the old country in Europe. 👎
