Tony Sirico’s Paulie Was Key To The Sopranos’ Secret Weapon
The sad death of Tony Sirico has reminded audiences that his performance as Paulie «Walnuts» Gualtieri was key to The Sopranos' secret weapon. Paulie was one of the few members of Tony Soprano's criminal empire to be left standing when the show ended in 2007. He was defined by his short temper, irrational behavior, and surprising spirituality which manifested as superstition and visions of the Virgin Mary in a strip club.
