Well, 83 is a nice age, have to admit I thought he was long gone already..being the popular Rocky character since the beginning I thought he'd be a lot older.
But what is truly funny, in a violent kind of way, is how he went about in the Sopranos. He had one little role there, playing a retired hitman that needed to do one more hit. It turned out to be his last...
GRAPHIC VIOLENCE WARNING
And then of course, the inevitable happens...
This is so weird - about 11 hours ago, just before I went to bed last night I watched that top YouTube video. For some reason Sopranos clips come up in my YouTube suggestions a lot. Last night I watched one in which someone gets bludgeoned with a golf club, then visited the Sopranos wiki to research the identity of the assailant.
Then, assuming he would get "whacked" at some point, I did a search for "Sally gets whacked" and the top video came up.
Sopranos has to be up there as one of the greatest TV series ever made. Paulie had a huge part in the show. He had a major part in the funniest episode The Pine Barrens.
He has the funniest line in this scene too...
"What, was it barking" ;D
Apologies I presumed by Paulie you meant Paulie Walnuts! He died last year at 79! Still I'll leave my post intact even if it is a bit of a deviation!
