Vincent Pastore

Born in 1946, Pastore was a well-known nightclub manager in New York for 20 years before friends Kevin and "Matt Dillon" convinced him to consider a career in acting. Soon taking acting lessons and turning up in community theater productions, Pastore made his feature debut in the heavy metal horror fiasco "Black Roses" before gaining ground on the familiar roles that would follow him through to his breakthrough success on The Sopranos. Along the way to that success, Pastore would turn up in numerous popular films including "Awakenings" (1990), "Carlito's Way" (1993), and the 1997 television miniseries "The Last Don". ~ Jason Buchanan, All...
