Sirico steals the show! ...Continue »
Tony Sirico's character on the Sopranos is absolutly fantastic. I love all of his scenes and I think the writers should give him more parts. It is a shame that this guy has so much personality and character, but gets so few words in on the show. From his trademark skunk stripes to his jokes for every occasion (which are so great that he has to repeat them) Sirico adds that special something to the show. If they ever killed of Pauly Walnuts, I would quit watching the show. My favorite Sopranos episode was when he went to the phsychic, it was screaminly hilarious. I hope to see more of him in the future.
