US actor Vincent Pastore, who played Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero in the hit show The Sopranos, has died aged 80, according to several US outlets. Pastore was found at his home in the Bronx, New York City and there was no indication of criminality, the BBC's US partner CBS News reported.
In The Sopranos, Pastore played Tony Soprano's best friend who ultimately became an informant for the FBI. His character's death in series two was one
of the show's most memorable storylines. Robert Attermann, Pastore's manager, told CBS News: "To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable 'Big
Pussy,' but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more."
