According to The Smoking Gun, Tony Sirico, the actor who portrays
Paulie Walnuts on The Sopranos, didn't have to stretch his acting muscles too much to portray his on-camera

than a little authenticity in my mafiosos. Sirico is also quoted as saying he would "carve his initials" in
the forehead of a disco club owner that he had a beef with. Although hilarious and pretty cool, I'm a little
frightened, and this is probably the one time I wouldn't want a celebrity reading my post about them. I mean, Paulie
beat up an old lady!! Does that picture look like it's looking at me...?Soprano's Tony Sirico real life tough guy-- General public shocked
