It was a tough week for a couple
of great tough guys...
The actor, who appeared in all six seasons of The Sopranos alongside James Gandolfini, died on Friday morning.
His manager of 25 years, Bob McGowan, told the Hollywood Reporter that Sirico had died in an assisted living facility in Fort Lauderdale, and had been living with dementia for the last couple of years.
A statement posted on Facebook by his brother Robert Sirico read: “It is with great sadness, but with incredible pride, love and a whole lot of fond memories, that the family of Gennaro Anthony ‘Tony’ Sirico wishes to inform you of his death on the morning of July 8, 2022.
He originally auditioned for the role of Uncle Junior in The Sopranos, but Dominic Chianese landed the role. The show’s creator David Chase instead offered him the role of Paulie Gualtieri, which Sirico accepted with the condition that his character “would not become a rat”.

Of course, the agents were innocent. They hadn’t “whipped” migrants, as the media and liberal politicians had claimed. They were trying to prevent people from illegally crossing the border and were using long reins to control their horses. In other words, their jobs. But the president already had decided, so on Friday, the Customs and Border Protection agency had to justify some kind of action. It took them an amazing 511 pages.
The CBP can’t say they whipped the migrants (again, they didn’t), so instead accuses them of operating “unprofessionally” and using “unnecessary force.” The agents will be disciplined, a punishment that is purely political.
