Sirico was one of the numerous Goodfellas alumni in The Sopranos (Tony Stacks). The man was a real life hood in his younger years, allegedly connected with the Columbo family, arrested dozens of times and did a stint in prison. It was his friendship with Richard Castellano, who played Clemenza in The Godfather, that got Sirico his start in films. And coincidentally, he was a good friend of James Caan.

He finally knows what happened to the “interior decorator” in the Pine Barrens. I truly enjoyed his character in The Sopranos. He will be missed.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
