Tony Sirico's life before Sopranos and as Paulie Walnuts in his own words: 'I was a pistol-packing guy'
Fox News
Gennaro Anthony "Tony" Sirico's portrayal of the fictional character Paulie Walnuts from “The Sopranos” series was personal to him as he drew inspiration from a crime-laced youth and multiple run-ins with law enforcement.
And Sirico’s early rap sheet reflected the character he later portrayed on screen.
"I was a pistol-packing guy. The first time I went away to prison, they searched me to see if I had a gun — and I had three of ‘em on me. They’d ask why I was carrying and I’d say I live in a bad neighborhood. It was true. In our neighborhood, if you weren’t carrying a gun, it was like you were the rabbit during rabbit-hunting season."
