Tony Sirico, who played the mobster Peter Paul ‘Paulie Walnuts’ Gualtieri on the American crime-drama series ‘The Sopranos’, died at the age of 79.
Tonys death was confirmed by his manager to ‘Variety’. Sirico’s Paulie Walnuts is described as a bombastic and furiously funny foot soldier to James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano with one-liners like no one else. Sirico was a ‘Sopranos’ scene-stealer from the start.
Sirico, according to ‘Variety’, balanced Paulie’s menace with his deadpan humour, and his penchant for malapropisms, once calling Sun Tzu ‘Sun Tuh-Zoo’, later referring to the philosopher as the ‘Chinese Prince Matchabelli’. Variety’ notes that Sirico appeared on all six seasons of ‘The Sopranos’, after he initially auditioned for the role of Uncle Junior. Dominic Chianese ultimately landed that part.
