No one had better quotes than Paulie Walnuts. One of the funniest characters ever. He’s doing his 6,000 years in purgatory standing on his head, then off to heaven.
@@FM_SAINT you beat me to that 😂😂😂 Chrissy and Paulie best Wiseguy Male Dynamic and both lines from arguably the greatest episode of The Sopranos. There's too much greatness to pick just 1 in the fandom but that's my default answer for obvious reasons
"I lost my shoe" "Ooohhooohh" "What do you hear? What do you say?" "Hey Commendatore" "The Boss of this family said your Santa Clause, your Santa Clause" "Fucking Queers"
I've only seen the show once before, maybe in 09 or so. I'm rewatching it now and I just got to the part where his aunt reveals something to him (generic anti spoiler phrasing) and then he later breaks down about it. To see a tough guy like that have to step away is just something else.

On the day I visited the Soprano house, Centanni’s, and Holsten’s, I got home only to find out he passed. “I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the heart!” RIP to Tony Sirico, a great character actor!
The wise guy lifestyle always looks phenomenal when you’re young, that is until you get older and realize the only way out is prison or death. Exceptions are few and far between, you are one of them Michael and you’re channel and what you did today helps shed some light on that.
I'll admit I was enamored of that lifestyle when I was a kid. I was even booking in high school. I then met a guy who worked for my family. He was a made guy in NYC and a main conduit to Mad Dog Sullivan. Did time with Gotti and Joe Gallo (who he swore was gay or bisexual and he's not the first I've heard that from... not that it matters... just an interesting tidbit). I liked him a lot. We got a long well. He was 5'2, 60 something but fearless, but his life was very sad. He had no real family to speak of, but a nephew he adored. No money. Not much social security because he worked off the books. He was forced to work a physically taxing job with really bad COPD and emphysema late in his life. He died some years later, and the funeral was not well-attended. It was a first glimpse into the grim reality of that lifestyle. This is a guy who got out of it, and he still had basically nothing to show for it.
@@ccali327 I’ll take things that never happens for $600, Alex! LOL, so funny when people make up these ridiculous stories to sound self righteous. Nobody cares about your fantasy tales, you’ve never met a mob guy in your life.
The Sopranos got me through my deployment in Iraq. I one the 3rd season AND the Godfather trilogy in a poker game. I was in LSA Anaconda near ballad. We had daily morter attacks almost everyday. You get used to it after awhile but watching those on my portable DVD player helped lighten the load.
Interesting to see Michael awe at the supposedly long history of England while you mention Iraq whose recorded history is much longer than anything in Europe.
Tony Sirico was able to turn his life around. I truly respect him for that. And like you say we are not defined completely by our past. We can improve to become better human beings.
@@zabaleta66 I bet it was Zabaleta. I get the image of him being like he was on film in real life. Not alot of acting needed to become Pauly Walnuts. That's the beauty of it, we got the real deal with him. R.I.P. Tony. Your work will live on for generations as the great Pauly from the Sopranos!!
Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent, and James Gandolfini live on forever in the Sopranos. Great show, great cast. Paulie had some funny lines, but he also had a tremendous amount of wisdom.
Paulie was by far my favorite character. I still do impressions of him when joking around. My friends laugh their heads off. Timeless character. May Angels sing thee to thy rest.
I hope someone is listening that needs the message to choose the fork in the road that takes you to faith. I did that 40 years ago and it's been a wonderful road. Not always easy but always wonderful. Keep it up.
I always really appreciated and respected his very big support of the USO and Wounded Warriors Project. He always advocated and went out of his way for the Military and Veterans organizations, especially with the other Sopranos cast members in deployed war zones overseas...
Great Word for me today! I am, by God's grace, from an event on this very day, forever changed! I try to use my experiences from my entire life to help set others free. Praise God! What a great ministry you have. Bless you Michael!
Him and James Gandolfini were very generous men. The work they did with veterans was outstanding! Tony himself an army vet..did a lot of good for wounded warriors. As well as Jimmy. Sad his passing 😢.
I think losing Jimmy Broke his heart for real they were really close off screen I saw that visiting the troops Trip and James interviews with returned veterans RIP To both of them Tony and James
I was late to the party when it came to Sopranos I didn’t start watching it until November of last year. He was one of my favorite characters and cool to find out he was connected in real life. What a blessing he turned it around and was able to turn his life around like you have. Another great video so far! Sending lots of love and support from Houston, Texas. ❤️🙏🏼 God bless you and your family!
As always, Mr. Franseze always encourages his audience. I am a recovered alcoholic and I have been sober for five months. This encouragement helps a lot of people, including me, stay on the right path. Thank you Mr. Franseze for your words! Always love your videos.
Tony Sirico was from Brooklyn and still maintained his NY license. As any New Yorker knows the New York State DMV also holds the court rooms if you get a moving violation. Legend has it that cops that write tickets and go there to testify, when they would see him they would snatch him up and bring him back to their precinct and he would spend the day joking with them, taking pictures, signing autographs…That is a class act! RIP Tony! It is a sad day.
So glad you did this Michael. He was my favorite on the Sopranos. There's an old interview with him from the late 80's here on YT, very insightful outlook from this man.
Great Memorial to a Wonderful Human Being and Fantastic Actor. Thanks for taking the time to do this Michael because before you know it an entire generation of wonderful actors will be gone forever!
According to AJ (Robert Iler) you did meet him, apparently he was Pauline the mannerisms and the way he was apparently was him. Not sure what the agent saw
When I heard this and saw the tributes, my heart sunk. I really wanted to meet him myself because I thought he was incredible. There will never be another Tony Sirico !
Damnit, what a shame. He is an absolute legend. God rest his soul. Michael I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for everything you're doing. 🇺🇲
Literally started the Sopranos this month, first time I’ve seen it! Paulie Walnuts has some on the funniest lines.. I am a Disabled Veteran and it’s nice to know guys like him and James Gandolfini were big supporters of the military and WWP.
Damn,I didn't think it was possible for anyone in this day and age not to have seen the Sopranos ( at least watch a bit of it,if not the whole series) but better late than never. As you're discovering it's different class,a truly iconic show. Thank you for your service, we owe a lot to guys like you
Once again, Mr Franzese, thank you so much for this warm tribute to Tony Sirico. He was a gem indeed. My favourite scene of Sirico is of the Goodfellas, when at the beginning of the movie he got of the car at Paulie's pizzaria, looking amazing, with Tony Bennett singing Rags to Riches in the background.. What an iconic scene. Sad to see him go. My condolences to his family.
Just watched the entire Soprano's for the 4th time and now am 100 % convinced this was the best actor in the Soprano's with the best Ad Lib lines ever..RIP GENNARO...
Hands down greatest character in THE SOPRANOS THE episode I'm not gonna name it .... you all know it. If you don't you aren't a real sopranos fan his back & forths with Christopher Pure comedy gold Like the Laurel & Hardy of new jersey
Yeah, with Valery the Russian, ABSOLUTE badass, that was the funniest episode ever, "he was a interior decorator" "git dafuq outta here" "well his house looked like shit"...hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tony Sirico Caught my Eye in Goodfellas, even though he Didn’t have a Big Role in the Movie, his Look and Performance had an Impact on Me, and of Course his Role in The Sopranos was Epic, I will Never Forget Him! James Caan as Well Heroes to Me as Well as You Michael❤️🔥✨
A wonderful actor has sadly been lost. Paulie Walnuts is still my favorite character on the Sopranos--so many funny quotes. May Mr. Sirico rest in peace.
Nice tribute to Tony Sirico Michael. Pauly Walnuts was many Sopranos fans fav charactor. Tony was so good in the that role as was the entire cast really.
Paulie is gone??? Oh my.....I must be living under a rock. How did I not know this??? Lovely tribute to him, Michael. He was an epic actor and definitely one of the backbones of the Sopranos. He will indeed be missed.
Excellent tribute to Tony "Paulie Walnuts" Sirico. Along with Tony's work on Wounded Warriors he went to Afghanistan with Jim to visit the troops. Besides his hair I hope he has another set of "Wings" now.
I’m still heartbroken over Mr. Sirico’s loss. Hands down, he played my favorite character on the entire series. I’d seen him in an interview at one of those Sopranos ‘cons’ or whatever they call them, and he didn’t look well; the interviewer was gracious and understanding of his frailty speaking with him. I’m just so grateful we all have a chance to watch his thespian talents for years to come. God bless always, Mr. Sirico.
I came from the same background in Glasgow in the Sixties and seventies and was a Gang guy, and did some bad things and bad things happened to me, I was stabbed a couple of times and was Jailed a few times, then I met a good Lady who saved me from doing what my Brothers where doing we've been Married 48yrs and have 3 Kids and 6 Grandkids, so Michael your talking a lot of sense. 😎🇬🇧👍
I just found Michael's channel what a very nice and well spoken man who is the perfect type of man who describes life events the way they really are. Thanks Michael.
I was an addict for 10 years I’m 34 now been clean since 2015 and plan on keeping it that way..this was an awesome video and definitely something I needed to hear..I’m also a man of faith and this video gave me more faith..R.I.P Paulie Walnuts and Thank you mike …and if anyone is going through that feel free to reach out to me
“Did you ever get the feeling like nothing good was ever gonna happen to you?” “Yeah, and nothing ever did, so what?” He was made for that character😂. Rip Tony Sirico
Michael, thanks for paying tribute to Tony. He deserved the respect. He was my favorite actor. You could see he'd been thru a lot, but had a kind heart, and was a good human being. I'll miss him. Addio, Tony!
I thought he's shirtless in that photo? The one with knee high boots, white pants, fancy belt _and_ suspenders (braces), looking like he's carved out of marble?! Fkn *epic* photo
I come from Dyker Heights Brooklyn ,And lived around a lot of heavy hitters. Mr. Sirico used to get his hair done ay the same place my sisters and I used to. So I seen him many times a very pleasant man. R.I.P. Great acting job.
"Have a cookie.. you're delirious!" To Vito when trying to chisel down the purported amount of a score. My favorite line of the entire series, and one of my favorites ever.
Paulie Walnuts reminded me of a lot of guys I use to see in South Philly when I was growing up. Lol!!! He just seemed like an every day guy you would see on the street.👍👍👍
One the greatest actors and characters in TV history! My favourite on the sopranos and my favourite show of all time, literally know and have used all his one liners and quotes, he will be sadly missed! Rip to a legend, always be remembered same as James gandolfini!!
Very nice tribute. Tony is probably saying in heaven...."hey! I got a tribute from Michael Franzese. Just when I thought I was out, he pulls me back in....." Wonderful tribute Mr. Franzese.
"Ya not gonna believe this, this guy killed 16 Czech slovenians, guy was an interior decorator" "His house looked like shit". RIP Tony. Incredibly gifted speaker of words. Legend. Never forgotten Thought Tony besides Sopranos was amazing in the HBO Gotti movie. Amazing man. God bless
Michael, thanks for the lovely tribute. I so admired Tony for his great acting and wonderful work for our servicemen and women. As soon as I heard he had passed, good Catholic girl that I am, I went to church to light a candle for him. I asked St.Peter to please have Mr. Sinatra waiting at the Pearly Gates to sing "Nancy With The Laughing Face" as Tony strolled in as it was Paulie's favorite song so I figured Tony liked it too.
I think you're fascinating, Michael. I was trained in the field of casino gaming protection courtesy of your former line of work. I learned more about how to do business, how to treat people and had a code of both ethics and integrity. Which in current times is lost if not abandoned. I relate to you quite a bit as I myself was a young prodigy. Your TH-cam channel is inspiring. I miss the "life", but God has bigger plans for me. Thanks for giving me hope. Life is good. Maybe one day we can meet. I gave up the life because I wouldn't compromise my ethics for others careless mistakes. No regrets. Again, thank you. You're doing God's work.
Thank you, Mr. Franzese, for your fine and loving tribute to my brother. Many blessings !
Fr. Robert Sirico
God bless you and your family, Mr. Sirico.
Amen+
💖my uncle was Hank Sirico who worked for Coca Cola he married my Aunt Tinnie Ferrara..

I’d seen him in an interview at one of those Sopranos ‘cons’ or whatever they call them, and he didn’t look well; the interviewer was gracious and understanding of his frailty speaking with him. I’m just so grateful we all have a chance to watch his thespian talents for years to come. God bless always, Mr. Sirico.
I came from the same background in Glasgow in the Sixties and seventies and was a Gang guy, and did some bad things and bad things happened to me, I was stabbed a couple of times and was Jailed a few times, then I met a good Lady who saved me from doing what my Brothers where doing we've been Married 48yrs and have 3 Kids and 6 Grandkids, so Michael your talking a lot of sense. 😎🇬🇧👍
Oi you a ned aye
I just found Michael's channel what a very nice and well spoken man who is the perfect type of man who describes life events the way they really are. Thanks Michael.
Looking forward to seeing you in glasgow. Scotland 🏴

“Did you ever get the feeling like nothing good was ever gonna happen to you?” “Yeah, and nothing ever did, so what?” He was made for that character😂. Rip Tony Sirico
🤣 classic!
That scene always cracks me up. Very relatable 🥴
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 Everyone feels like that some days.
Quote to remember
Paulie was hands down the best character in the show. Especially the first 3 or so seasons.
Wonderful tribute, Michael! I learned a lot about him just from this video!
Beautiful piece of work my friend.
He was a former mobster thats why we loved him. Pure master. Rest in peace Tone..
Thank you Michael for the story about Tony Sirico, as well as the pep talk. We loved Tony and will miss him. Best wishes in the U.K.
I can’t believe he died “how much more betrayal can I take” RIP Tony Siciro
Michael, thanks for paying tribute to Tony. He deserved the respect. He was my favorite actor. You could see he'd been thru a lot, but had a kind heart, and was a good human being. I'll miss him. Addio, Tony!

He will be missed . There is a photo floating around of him in Coney Island with suspenders and a tank top lol reminded me of my grandfather.
@@michaelfranzese ok I'm convinced at this point that you're a bot 😂
I thought he's shirtless in that photo? The one with knee high boots, white pants, fancy belt _and_ suspenders (braces), looking like he's carved out of marble?!
Fkn *epic* photo
I come from Dyker Heights Brooklyn ,And lived around a lot of heavy hitters. Mr. Sirico used to get his hair done ay the same place my sisters and I used to. So I seen him many times a very pleasant man. R.I.P. Great acting job.
I fkn love Michael.
Pray for his safety and prosperity❤
What a wonderful video Michael, I’ve been sober 18 months and a ton of my free time goes to helping other addicts
One of my favorite scenes with Paulie is when he was with Chris in the van freezing too death.
Needed this right now. Thanks Michael.
Sad news…Sopranos wouldn’t have been the same without him! 🙏
Dear friend of my grandfather very sad. Love the work here Michael very captivating
"Have a cookie.. you're delirious!"
To Vito when trying to chisel down the purported amount of a score.
My favorite line of the entire series, and one of my favorites ever.
I don't know, fucking slander if you ask me. Love how he said that.
Paulie Walnuts reminded me of a lot of guys I use to see in South Philly when I was growing up. Lol!!! He just seemed like an every day guy you would see on the street.👍👍👍
He did say in the interview that there is something bigger then us all AKA God, he had faith.
One the greatest actors and characters in TV history! My favourite on the sopranos and my favourite show of all time, literally know and have used all his one liners and quotes, he will be sadly missed! Rip to a legend, always be remembered same as James gandolfini!!

He was a great voice actor as well. Loved his parts in American Dad and Family Guy
I could listen to you tell stories for days! You are an amazing story teller!
Very nice tribute. Tony is probably saying in heaven...."hey! I got a tribute from Michael Franzese. Just when I thought I was out, he pulls me back in....."
Wonderful tribute Mr. Franzese.
What a great piece here Michael , and you are 100% correct these guys were all icons , And Tony deserved all of the Kudos
"Ya not gonna believe this, this guy killed 16 Czech slovenians, guy was an interior decorator"
"His house looked like shit".
RIP Tony. Incredibly gifted speaker of words. Legend. Never forgotten
Thought Tony besides Sopranos was amazing in the HBO Gotti movie. Amazing man. God bless
Thanks for the love for my home city of London 🙏🙏🙏
Paulie was the performance that really made sopranos credible as a mob story. Unlike all the other characters, he was legitimately scary.
Michael, thanks for the lovely tribute. I so admired Tony for his great acting and wonderful work for our servicemen and women. As soon as I heard he had passed, good Catholic girl that I am, I went to church to light a candle for him. I asked St.Peter to please have Mr. Sinatra waiting at the Pearly Gates to sing "Nancy With The Laughing Face" as Tony strolled in as it was Paulie's favorite song so I figured Tony liked it too.
I think you're fascinating, Michael. I was trained in the field of casino gaming protection courtesy of your former line of work. I learned more about how to do business, how to treat people and had a code of both ethics and integrity.
Which in current times is lost if not abandoned. I relate to you quite a bit as I myself was a young prodigy. Your TH-cam channel is inspiring.
I miss the "life", but God has bigger plans for me. Thanks for giving me hope. Life is good. Maybe one day we can meet. I gave up the life because I wouldn't compromise my ethics for others careless mistakes. No regrets.
Again, thank you. You're doing God's work.
‘Not bad. Mix it with the relish.’
Pine Barrens will always be a classic. RIP.
Paulie in real life was in the mob he had more to do with sopranos then people realize.
He was a hoodlum but was he in the mafia? A made guy? I don't think so...
What an excellent tribute to Tony. Ray and Tony were my favorite actors. May God bless Tony and Ray any you for an excellent tribute
