My Take

Vincent Pastore proves that a single great role can be a whole legacy. His Big Pussy Bonpensiero on The Sopranos is one of television's most quietly devastating performances, a betrayal story told mostly through tired eyes and forced laughter. What I love is that Pastore came to acting relatively late, after a full life in the real world, and you can feel that authenticity in every wiseguy he plays. Even voicing a cartoon fish in Shark Tale, he brings genuine neighborhood warmth. Typecasting never diminished him; he turned the mobster archetype into something human. For my money, he is the soul of an entire genre of New York storytelling.
