Fans of The Sopranos are mourning the loss of one of the show’s most recognizable faces after veteran actor Vincent Pastore died at the age of 80.
Best known for his unforgettable portrayal of Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero in HBO’s groundbreaking crime drama, Pastore built a career that stretched far beyond organized crime roles on screen. His passing marks the end of a remarkable journey that took him from the Bronx to becoming one of television’s most beloved character actors.
According to reports, Pastore was found dead Saturday, August 1, at his residence on City Island in the Bronx after friends became concerned when they had not heard from him for several days.
