Paul Herman, a staple of gangster movies and known best for playing Peter “Beansie” Gaeta on “The Sopranos,” died Tuesday on his 76th birthday.
His “Sopranos” co-star Michael Imperioli broke the news.
“Paulie was just a great dude. A first class storyteller and raconteur and one hell of an actor,” Imperioli, who starred as Christopher Moltisanti on the HBO mob show, wrote on Instagram.
