Before the world knew him as mobster Paulie "Walnuts" Gaultieri, actor Tony Sirico grew up in Brooklyn living a life not that far removed from the one he portrayed on TV
Thanks for this. Junior Sirico was my roommate, briefly, in the 80s, when I was living in a Lower East Side dump and he was working on the film, So Fine, with Ryan O'Neal and Richard Kiel (who startled me when I came home to find him sitting on my couch!). A crazy time, the 80s being what they were in NY, totally cocaine-fueled, Junior will make a brief cameo appearance in Episode 57 of The Dirtygirl Diaries. https://jdoff.substack.com/
Oh wow! Very cool, thanks for sharing! I know that the LES as well as most of NYC was QUITE a bit different in the 80s than it is today. I'll bet you have a lot of stories.
