Genaro Anthony Sirico Jr. (/ s ɪ ˈ r iː k oʊ /; July 24, 1942 – July 8, 2022) [2] was an American actor who portrayed Paulie Gualtieri in The Sopranos. Born in Brooklyn to an Italian-American family, Sirico had a tumultuous early life marked by multiple arrests and periods of imprisonment for crimes including robbery, assault, and extortion.
In the first season, Paulie is a vital member of Tony's crew. He executes a Colombian drug dealer and steals a large quantity of drugs and cash from his hotel room. Other tasks he performs are recovering a stolen car (with Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero), torturing a hotel co-owner so the crew can own 25% of the business, and extorting Meadow's soccer coach by giving him an unwanted free TV.
Christopher and Paulie gave chase, firing as they ran. Paulie seemingly hit Valery in the head, leaving a trail of blood. The two men continued looking for him but eventually gave up, and realized they were lost in the wilderness in the middle of winter. Chris and Paulie then spent a miserable night in an abandoned van in the Pine Barrens.
