Tony Sirico
July 29, 1942 – July 8, 2022
A native of Brooklyn, Sirico had been a prominent actor for decades and decades. Of course, we all know him for his distinct hairstyle — and rockstar performance as Paulie Walnuts on The Sopranos. Crazily enough, Sirico had a checkered past before being an actor. He had reportedly been arrested nearly 30 times before leaving that life for one on the stage. A big fan of Sirico’s was Woody Allen — who cast him in multiple of Allen’s movies (including Mighty Aphrodite). A participant in Casino, Goodfellas, Mickey Blue Eyes, and The Godfather Part II (among other projects), Sirico passed in Florida at the age of 79.
