Really surprised to not see a thread for actor Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy Bonpensiero on The Sopranos). He was a major player in that series, but I suspect it was difficult for him to leave that character behind. He was 80. ---

Vincent Pastore knew how to fill a part. Excellent actor. RIP ---

I originally expected the thread was about the actress who played Pussy Galore. But I just looked her up and Honor Blackman died in 2020 at age 94. Funny, I had thought that character was from a much later Bond film than _Goldfinger_ in 1964. And therefore that the actress was much younger. ---

It’s funny - by sheer coincidence, I happened to see him on a 5th season episode of _Law & Order_ just a few hours ago. Turns out, he played 4 different characters on the few years of the show. A consummate professional ---

Pastore’s character was one of my favorites on The Sopranos. I especially enjoyed when he began “helping” the FBI a bit too much, incompetently staking out and following the other mobsters. And of course, he was a really good talking fish. RIP. ---
