> Actor Frank Pellegrino, recognizable to mob-drama fans from Goodfellas and The Sopranos, has died at 72 after battling lung cancer, Variety and People report.

He was great as the FBI Bureau Chief Cubitoso in _The Sopranos_ and I also remember him from the excellent movie _Gotti_ as well as the occasional Law & Order episode.

Anyway, another fine New York actor gone. Rest well, Mr Pellegrino.
