You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians.

The guy was an interior decorator!

Great shame, he was unforgettable in that role.

He seemed not well a while back, he was in an interview and seemed to be confused about what he was talking about. Other actors from the sopranos were there as well and looked totally out of the loop with what he was talking about.

Talented actor, found him amusing. RIP.

I think he was a real life gangster and mafia associate years ago. Probably he was a natural at playing one lol

RIP

He was born to play a mobster. Fella looks like he's just got back from a night out with Tony Montana and the boys.

One of my favourite characters out of the sopranos. The episode of Paulie and Chris lost in the snowy woods always makes me laugh.

Legend.

The guy was a legend. Here's one for you, if it was still running and you could kind of pause the age of the characters who would be his replacement/if they did a remake who would replace him.

Paulie Walnuts was a hell of a character thanks to this guy.

That was probably taken when he actually was a gangster
