@@antmikedavis correct, he was an enforcer/ collector and used that bat very well from what I've read about his history! I knew guys like him back in the late 60's -70's and they were OK, as long as you did not owe them $$ or started shit! My neighborhood was never safer when the mob ran the streets back then.
I had to open a box of signed Sopranos posters for Tony Sirico one time. He was standing over me the whole time saying "Don't fuckin' rip them Ryan." My hands were shaking so bad.
Sam Davis No his Bruddah” is a Priest 🤣 ...and he got a tip on horse at Belmont running during the rainy season...he heard his Faddah was a “mudder” 🤣 “hey did you hear what I told him”? “I says.... ahh you get it 🤣🤣🤣
It's like "Paulie Walnuts" walked right off the "Sopranos" set to give that introduction. But, it was right from his heart. That's what made it a great introduction.
Mr. Tony Sirico, a fantastic individual who showed the world that your past does not define you, instead he owned it and delivered one of the most iconic TV characters of all time alongside James Gandolfini.
Such a class act. I cannot believe his favorite film is the same as mine!!! This is one of the little things in life that make me smile!! Watching this just took a shitbag holiday season and made my load a little lighter. Thank You Tony and God Bless You Father!!😇😇
no paper prepared, went on gave so much class and precision. this is why I admire him. sharp but present and to the ground character with so much heart after all of he went through and portrayed :)
he robbed a new york night club ,got 4 years then got put away for firearms and loan sharking, and was arrested 28 times he was also charged with drug distribution but charges were dropped.he learned to act in prison actually.
I have heard him on other interviews on UA-cam. I was shocked because I always thought the Paulie character was an act, including the Brooklyn accent. Obviously, that is how he talks. No matter what character he plays, he will always sound like Paulie. But he has been very successful making a living from being that character and fortunately for him there are recurring roles that need him. I love his work in the Sopranos. I don’t recall seeing or hearing him in anything else.
The episode "Pine Barrens" from the 'Sopranos" was probably the best episode of the whole series. Siroco and Imperioli's performance was just the best!!
I've see other other interviews with him, where he had the much cooler Brooklyn accent. Looks like his New Jersey accent has now become his default after Sopranos.
I wish nothing but the best for this man. He was, if not my favorite character on the show. Off camera Tony seems like a good guy. It’s sad to hear he’s coming down with ailments. Hopefully he makes it through for more years to enjoy.
We were sitting outside of RANDAZZO'S in shepshead bay,BROOKLYN when all of sudden my wifey LINDA said to me your never going to guess who is walking down the street,so I turned around & there he was looking at my wife&then he said"hello gorgeous ",looked at me nodded his head respectfully, &I nodded to him "no offense taken", he was to me a class act.
“Whatttya hear, whattya sayy!!!!”
I would’ve pissed myself laughing if he did that shit!! 😂 with the high pitch and everything!!
Johnny pancakes
James Cagney.
He just played himself in Sopranos
Leri Indashvili 🤣
Bloody right he did
@Wilhelm Strasse No he wasnt
@Wilhelm Strasse he was a Colombo associate

No say Never... He's a shopping cart from here on out
His brother is a priest!!! Perfect!!!
That's the way they roll in the whole North East.
In a place they grew, to not die in poverty you either choose to become a bandit or a priest. The brother went the easy way.

Rest In Peace Mr Gennaro Anthony Sirico, you are going to be missed
This guy IS Pauly Walnuts.
the complete opposite to Gandolfini
@@cakeface8839 Tony Sirico was a real gangster before he got into acting.

Did a few years in the army a few more in da can and here I am a halfa wiseguy.
Joe Frugoli so what
DJ Kinney that’s what he says at the end of that quote. Jagoff.
Whats blowing my mind here is that he's actually scarier than Paulie lol, i can definately believe he was a connected guy in his younger years.
ua-cam.com/video/qxddINwarJk/v-deo.html
He was a aaacociate to the colombo crime fmaily . Search his name and oc shortz on youtube he has a video about his life in crime
Honestly one of the best speeches I've heard.
Mr. Tony Sirico, a fantastic individual who showed the world that your past does not define you, instead he owned it and delivered one of the most iconic TV characters of all time alongside James Gandolfini.
Please we need a statue of this man in Atlantic City
Brian Bunce no he is just an actor
Brian Smith
In every city
Retard liberals will tear it down because he is ‘raaaaciist’
"Me????? I'm still a gangster."
I love how he had to put that in there.
He’s a very charming and funny man, great actor as well!
Tony Sirico was perfectly cast in the Soprano's.
Such a class act. I cannot believe his favorite film is the same as mine!!! This is one of the little things in life that make me smile!! Watching this just took a shitbag holiday season and made my load a little lighter. Thank You Tony and God Bless You Father!!😇😇
Rest in peace to a legend 🕊❤️

He don't write nothing down
It's amazing how him and his brother lived the movie he mentions. Totally crazy.
Life does, indeed, imitate art!
he's so cool and he doesn't even have to try
Fucking love his Brooklyn accent! I could listen to him all day and not get bored!
Me I am still a gangster. Epic line.
“Ay Tone...”
he robbed a new york night club ,got 4 years then got put away for firearms and loan sharking, and was arrested 28 times he was also charged with drug distribution but charges were dropped.he learned to act in prison actually.
Lived by da skin of his nuts in da seventies when da Colombos were goin' at it.
Atleast he wasnt dumb like Pussy and stayed away from pushin' that H.
I think he learned to act at the Lee Strasberg Institute. He attended for 4 yrs.

He was apparently an extra during the scene where Sonny beats up Carlo, as one of the many onlookers being restrained by Sonny's bodyguards.
yes i saw him
Scooby dooderino me too!! Look! He’s right there!!!
He was in goodfellas too
He really was an amazing man rip 🕊️🍾the coolest
Made me tear up LONG LIVE SIRICO SAY HI TO JIM FOR US🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The episode "Pine Barrens" from the 'Sopranos" was probably the best episode of the whole series. Siroco and Imperioli's performance was just the best!!
That was the only episode in the whole show where they messed up his hair, and apparently he was really mad about it!
He's like no different from Paulie in real life.
He’s smarter than Pauline, but the personality is spot on.
I've just started watching the show and I'm amazed by his performance. Rest in peace
What an introduction! No script, just words from the heart. Plus a whole lot of moxy👍
I love how you can hear Tony’s laugh in the background over everyone elses. RIP Paulie!!!
I love this man! Just as intimidating as Paulie!
I just fucking love his Brooklyn accent! I could listen to him all day and not get bored.
Rest in peace , a true one on screen - off screen !
WOW !!! He did a fantastic job !!!
R.I.P. Tony Sirico!!
Imagine having to call your younger brother 'Father'?
Father is what you call a priest
One of a kind.. RIP. Your going to be missed
Wow what a class act.
Love you Tony Sirico
whatta you hear, whatta ya say......thats pauly quoting the great jimmy cagney line. paulie used it when paying off a cop on the sopranos.
Also as he walked in the bar where his friends threw him a nice welcome home party.
Heheheh
I watched angels with dirty faces because i looked up this line too.
Absolutely was the same as his character in every movie he was in.!
Life goes by too fast.
You can hear Tony's maniacal laugh right after she tells everyone not to annoy him. 🤣
Heh heh heh. Da tourettes t'ing.
Did Tony Siroco play a character or himself?
Word to the wise- remember Pearl Harbor 🤘
he was basically a gangster who figured out he could make the same money as an actor
@@Makethemostofit1Really awesome. He has a lot of charm!
Never out of character, always thought he was serious and funny in the Sopranos
Hes not in character, thats the real him
Class act
Now I know why he was so good in sopranos, he was playing himself!
Touching and beautiful.
Hearing the woman who introduced Tony Sirico refer to him as, "Pauly Walnuts," cracked me up.
RIP legend...
Me I am still a ganster. Epic line.
Should of done a biopic for Tony sirco man's a real 1 straight as an arrow love from Ireland T🇮🇪
God Bless ya Pauly..... A true piece of Mob TV history, Thank you & give Chrissie the Bill!!!
Great speech and story telling. I was just a little disappointed that Father Sirico didn't have "wings"
TooLooze ... You could kinda see them at 5:44. If only his hair was longer!
@@michaeldukes4108 You're right!!
Rip uncle Paulie :((( great actor I will miss him very much so
You'll always be Paulie Walnuts to me R.I.P Paulie.
I've see other other interviews with him, where he had the much cooler Brooklyn accent. Looks like his New Jersey accent has now become his default after Sopranos.
"this guy ever stop breaking balls ?"
He never stops talking.
heheheheh
This was great, but I would have liked to hear from Father Robert too.
Lit up any room he walked in, RIP champ
Rest in peace 🙏
Tony sirico, real as they come
Fr Sirico is great
Even Paulie’s brother sports the wings. 🤣
"He's like the Jonas Salk of backs"
A true legend
I love this man❤️
“If I can’t curse, I can’t talk!”
I love how he quoted Anthony Quinn, there, from the film “Gotti”, which Sirico also starred in.
Amazing :) Put the remote control on the enterrrtainment centerrr.
He should have said "Whaddaya hear? Whaddaya say?" when he walked up the stage😂
I wish nothing but the best for this man. He was, if not my favorite character on the show. Off camera Tony seems like a good guy. It’s sad to hear he’s coming down with ailments. Hopefully he makes it through for more years to enjoy.
Sadly today he passed away, a great man and a fantastic character gone
😢😢
@@aduantas 😭😭😭ik you’re joking but Tony’s health has been declining for some years now
@@Chris-2 he passed away
@@WiredLain_ I know…? Lmao. I was saying that his death wasn’t sudden, he’s been unwell for years
Tony Sirico will never cease to make me laugh.
Rest In Paradise. 🙏🏼
Loved his laugh in sopranos,"hee hee hee". RIP my man

Fantastic! RIP Paulie Walnuts 😁👍
RIP Paulie Walnuts!!!!
RIP the great Tony Sirico
I love his "how ya doin'?"
Will be missed.
This guys more gangster in real life than on screen
Arrested 28 times lol
1 in a million
You could tell Tony loves his brother
5:44 perfect!
When I was a kid, you two were old ladies. Now I’m old, and you two are STILL old ladies!
Paulie Walnuts actually acted as Tony Sirico..he was made for this role
the best...
Remember good bad and the ugly? Tuco's brother became a priest, while he was an outlaw.
And Tuco always knew he could get a bowl of soup from his brother.
Funny, I thought his name was Clarence
And Woody Allen films. It's good to see he spoke for his brother.
I love Angeles with Dirty Faces, Roaring Twenties, Each Dawn I Die, and White Heat. Right back at ya Tony
Rip Tony😔
He used to hang out at the OTB on Bay Parkway back in the day...my Father remembered seeing him in there on many occasions ripping up OTB tickets!!
i hope tony comes back in a movie of the sopranos or a paulie walnuts mafia boss the guys brillant. they could have a fantastic movie!
