Paul Herman, 'The Sopranos' And 'The Irishman' Actor Dies At 76

“The Sopranos” actor Paul Herman has died … and on his 76th birthday, no less.

Paul’s former “Sopranos” castmate, Michael Imperioli, confirmed his death in an Instagram post calling Paul a great dude and “one hell of an actor”.

He continued … “Paulie lived around the corner from me the last few years and I am glad we got to spend some time together before he left us. I’ll miss him. Lots of love to his family, friends and community of actors and filmmakers.”

No cause of death has been disclosed yet.

Paul was well-known for his role as Peter “Beansie” Gaeta, who was a drug dealer turned Pizza shop owner on the HBO hit drama.

Herman will also be remembered for his notable roles in many other films, including “The Irishman” and “Goodfellas” … clearly he was in with Martin Scorsese.

He also starred in “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle” … both directed by David O. Russell.

Aside from all his big acting gigs, Paul and his brother Charlie ran a popular cafe in Manhattan that was frequented by actors, gangsters, dancers and even FBI agents in the ’90s.
