Paul Sorvino played more than a Mafia don. Here’s a look at some of his best-known roles

Paul Sorvino could play more than a mobster, even though mafioso roles became standards in his prolific career.

But Sorvino, who died Monday at age 83, was a good actor. And with more than 170 film and TV credits to his name, according to IMDb, there was plenty of room for other types.

“The reality is I’m a sculptor, a painter, a bestselling author, many, many things — a poet, an opera singer, but none of them is gangster...,” he once told the Associated Press. “It would be nice to have my legacy more than that of just tough guy.”
