“I think ‘The Sopranos’ probably solidifies the misconception that people have about New Jersey, to begin with,” he told NJ.com. “Because you’re from Jersey, and everybody has an accent, you are perceived a certain way… (Hollywood) needs a gangster, they call me or Joe (Pesci). An Italian-American? Frank or Joe… It is who you are.”
Vincent Pastore, who appeared on “The Sopranos” as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero, reportedly took to Facebook to mourn the loss of his friend, praising Vincent as an “inspiration” and his mentor.
Vincent also had notable roles in films like “Do The Right Thing” and “Raging Bull,” and enjoyed a career as a drummer before tackling acting. During the ’60s, he played in a band called Frank Vincent and the Aristocats at New York clubs like the Peppermint Lounge.
He put his hard-earned wisdom to good use in 2006 with a nonfiction how-to book, “A Guy’s Guide to Being a Man’s Man.”
According to TMZ, Vincent died in a New Jersey hospital during surgery after suffering a heart attack last week.
