The story of Paulie Gualtieri, played by Tony Sirico, was based on the actor's real life.
Before he entered the writing profession, Gualtieri was a criminal who, according to the Los Angeles Times, had more arrests than jobs in the field.
Before giving life and soul to Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri, Sirico led a life worryingly similar to the characters he would play so much throughout his career.
He was even being charged with crimes such as extortion, robbery, and carrying a gun, serving time in the notorious Sing Sing prison.
During a visit by a group of ex-convict actors, Sirico gained interest in acting, enrolling in classes and starting his trial in the show-business world upon his release.
In a career I can describe as homogeneous, he played some mafia figure more than forty times, sporadically altering with a corrupt cop.
In an interview with Larry King, he said, "I don't feel bad about it, Larry. I pay the rent and mortgage."
