“Tony was like no one else: he was as tough, as loyal and as big-hearted as anyone I’ve ever known… I will miss him forever. He is truly irreplaceable. I send love to his family, friends and his many many fans. He was beloved and will never be forgotten. Heartbroken today,” wrote Imperioli.
In addition to playing Paul “Paulie Walnuts” Gualtieri on The Sopranos, Sirico had around 80 movie and TV credits to his name, and he’s known for starring in Goodfellas, Romeo Is Bleeding, and multiple films directed by Woody Allen.
