SuperBacon Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Oh fucking hell. That is a gutting one. I know there are a few fellow Sopranos superfans on here like me, who absolutely loved the show and the characters/actors and I think along with Jimmy Gandolfini, he was the one that really made that role his own. If you watched the reunion show a few years back, you can see he still had that Paulie glint in his eye. What a wonderful actor. This is gutting. Hopefully he's up there right now finishing off that 'interior designer' prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted July 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Thatās a shame. He did look ill at the reunion show. He was also interviewed a couple of years ago with David Proval and didnāt look too with it, the poor bastard. Paulie had the funniest and most quotable lines in a show full of them. Will get wings in my hair as tribute.Ā Ā This is my favourite Paulie clip.Ā Edited July 9, 2022 by TheBurningRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gwynne was still doing the BDO stuff a couple of years ago and was a welcome voice to the ears considering the shite they have on comms these days. Taylor vs Barney at the 2007 world championships always sticks out for me. The match, the atmosphere, but also the commentary with himself and Sid that really made it a classic.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Tony Sirico, damn shame. Probably my favourite Sopranos character. Go to mob guy in so many films in the 90s and 2000s. I think it's Cop Land where he's a mob target that you only see a photo of, he doesn't even act in it.Ā Edited July 9, 2022 by gmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2022 Absolutely gutted Tony Sirico is gone. My favourite character from my favourite show of all time. Paulie Walnuts. And by all accounts he wasnāt even really a ācharacterā, that was really just him. He was the one on the show who actually had a legitimate past with links to the mob. A nasty bastard on the show but he made me laugh more than anyone else on there. Could reel off quotes all day from lines of his that had me howling. One of my favourite little quirks of his was his constant seeking approval from Tony where heād tell a joke, then repeat it to Tony. Paulie: Hey Sil, you remember your first blowjob? Silvio: Yeah. Paulie: How long did it take for the guy to cum?Ā *Turns to Tony* Paulie: Hey T, ya hear that? I said āDo you remember your first blowjob?ā He said āyeahā. I said, āhow long did it take for the guy to cum?!ā Hehehe.Ā Hopefully heās mixing it with the relish somewhere with Tone now.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Forgot about this one. I always loved his scenes with his 'ma' and particularly the ones after he found out what he did about her.Ā Very funny, but a real pathos to him as well.

Paid Members stumobir Posted July 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 9, 2022 Aw man, I am gutted about this. In a show full of amazing characters he really managed to stand out, just an unbelievable charisma. Iām not too long back from a weekend stag where me and the two guys I was sharing a room with spent the entire time quoting him, just too many to rhyme off. That thing he does with his hand when heās up in someoneās face, his trip to Italy, the tracksuits, the superstitious stuff, everything, he was absolutely perfect on that show. RIP Tony Sirico.

Keith Houchen Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 One of my favourite Paulie moments was when Meadows boyfriend was telling the crew about Vito and the security guard. The look on his face when he hears it was Vito sucking off the other guy and not the other way round was hilarious, as if that makes it worse.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
