Paul Sorvino, who acted on both sides of the law in 'Goodfellas' and on 'Law & Order,' has died at age 83.
Paul Sorvino, an imposing actor who specialized in playing crooks and cops like Paulie Cicero in"Goodfellas" and the NYPD sergeant Phil Cerretta on"Law & Order," has died. He was 83."Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage," his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, said in a statement.
Born in Brooklyn in 1939 to a mother who taught piano and father who was a foreman in a robe factory, Sorvino was musically inclined from a young age and attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York where he fell for the theater. He made his Broadway debut in 1964 in"Bajour" and his film debut in Carl Reiner's"Where's Poppa?" in 1970.
He was especially prolific in the 1990s, kicking off the decade playing Lips in Beatty's"Dick Tracy" and Paul Cicero in Martin Scorsese's"Goodfellas," who was based on the real-life mobster Paul Vario, and 31 episodes on Dick Wolf's"Law & Order.
