Joseph Siravo, best known for his roles in “The Sopranos” and “Jersey Boys,” died on Sunday following a harrowing bout with colon cancer, Fox News has confirmed. Siravo portrayed Tony Soprano’s father in the HBO series.
Siravo portrayed Tony Soprano’s father in frequent flashbacks to the mob boss’ childhood in the 1960s during his time on the HBO series, which was widely regarded as one of the best TV shows of its era, regardless of genre. A method actor of sorts, Siravo’s other TV roles include "For Life," "Law & Order," "The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story" and "The Blacklist." He also appeared on Broadway productions like "The Light in the Piazza" for which Siravo collaborated with Tony-winning director Bartlett Sher twice.
