Vincent Pastore played Salvatore Bonpensiero. “Big Pussy,” remember? He was a huge part of the show’s six-season run, appearing from 1999 onwards. He brought so much to that character.
The Sopranos had this unique visual style, right? Gritty. Dark. But even in that intense world, Vincent Pastore brought such a warm, memorable presence. A true character actor, he will be missed.
It reminds us of other sad goodbyes in the acting world recently. Just like when we heard the news about a ‘Night Heat’ star, this one stings. Losing a part of such an iconic show feels personal.
