Sirico talks about his early life. Most of you probably watched it already, but it's worth reposting.
In a Q&A some time back, Franzese said that Pesci and Sirico played the most authentic wiseguys in tv and film.

When the old ones are gone, we become the old ones.

RIP Pauley. And Thanks.

I thought Paulies character was only second to Tony. He was a real gangster. Mean, murderous and committed to his oath. There was no nostalgia. He was a fucking gangster and you saw what the "life" was really about. Also, his shit talking was legendary.

He was great on the screen very talented.
He was in Assistant living facility ? Anyone know why?

He was on some sort of Sopranos reunion a couple of years ago. He was slow and seemed to be suffering from early stage dementia.

I think this is his last public interview from SopranosCon featuring David Proval (Richie Aprile). It really does look like he was suffering from dementia.

I loved his feud with Ralph. Ralph as Detective Mike Hunt was hilarious, pranking Paulies mother

Purgatory - a little detour on the way to paradise. You add up all your mortal sins and multiply that number by 50. Then you add up all your venial sins and multiply that by 25. You add that together and that's your sentence. I figure I'm gonna have to do 6,000 years before I get accepted into heaven and 6,000 years is nothin' in eternity terms. I can do that standing on my head. It's like a couple of days here.

I also like when he said the Big Guy owes him over the contributions to the renovations on the church.

I thought Paulie was such a cafone it was cringe-worthy.

I said the same when I saw their reunion Q&A, it seemed like he was doing very poorly mentally. Didn’t think he had long even then.
