Paul Sorvino’s Personal Information
Paul Anthony Sorvino was an American actor, opera singer, businessman, writer, and sculptor.
He often portrayed authority figures on both sides of the law and was known for his roles as Paulie Cicero in the 1990 gangster film Goodfellas, and NYPD Sergeant Phil Cerreta on the TV series Law & Order.
He took on supporting roles in A Touch of Class, Reds, The Rocketeer, Nixon, and Romeo Juliet.
He was the father of actors Mira Sorvino and Michael Sorvino. Sorvino was born and raised in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, a borough of New York City.
His mother, Angela Maria Mattea (née Renzi; 1906–1991), was a homemaker and piano teacher who was born in Connecticut of Italian descent.
His father, Ford Sorvino, was an Italian immigrant who worked in a robe factory as a foreman.
He attended Lafayette High School and the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Sorvino began his career as a copywriter in an advertising agency.
He took 18 years of voice lessons.
While attending The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, he decided to go into the theatre.
He made his Broadway debut in the 1964 musical Bajour, and six years later he appeared in his first film, Carl Reiner’s Where’s Poppa? starring George Segal and Ruth Gordon.
In 1971, he played a supporting role in Jerry Schatzberg’s critically acclaimed The Panic in Needle Park, starring Al Pacino and Kitty Winn.
Sorvino received critical praise for his performance as Phil Romano in Jason Miller’s 1972 Broadway play That Championship Season, a role he repeated in the 1982 film version.
He appeared in another George Segal-starring film with a prominent supporting role in the Academy Award-winning romantic comedy A Touch of Class (1973).
In It Couldn’t Happen to a Nicer Guy (1974), he played Harry Walters, a real estate salesman randomly picked up by a beautiful woman (JoAnna Cameron) and raped at gunpoint as a prank. He also appeared in the 1976 Elliott Gould/Diane Keaton vehicle I Will, I Will. for Now.
He starred in the weekly series We’ll Get By (1975, as George Platt), Bert D’Angelo/Superstar, and The Oldest Rookie. He also directed Wheelbarrow Closers, a 1976 Broadway play by Louis La Russo II, which starred Danny Aiello.
In 1981, Sorvino played the role of Italian-American Communist Louis C. Fraina in Warren Beatty’s film Reds.
He appeared in Larry Cohen’s 1985 horror film The Stuff as a reclusive militia leader, alongside future Law & Order co-star Michael Moriarty.
Sorvino also helped found the American Stage Company, a group that launched several successful Off-Broadway shows, in 1986.
In 1991, Sorvino took on the role of Sergeant Phil Cerreta in the popular series Law & Order.
Sorvino initially was excited about the role but left after 29 episodes, citing the exhausting schedule demanded by the filming of the show, a need to broaden his horizons, and the desire to preserve his vocal cords for singing opera.
Sorvino’s exit from the series came in an episode in which Sgt.
Cerreta is shot in the line of duty and transferred to an administrative position in another precinct.
He was replaced on the show by Jerry Orbach. In 1993, Sorvino subbed for Raymond Burr in a Perry Mason TV movie.
He had earlier appeared as Bruce Willis’ father in the weekly series Moonlighting and the ‘Lamont’ counterpart in the never-aired original pilot for Sanford and Son.
Some of his most notable film roles were caporegime Paul Cicero in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990) and Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone’s Nixon (1995).
In addition to Goodfellas, Sorvino also played mob bosses Eddie Valentine in The Rocketeer and Tony Morolto in The Firm. Sorvino founded the Paul Sorvino Asthma Foundation, intending to build asthma centers for children and adults across the United States.
In 1998, he narrated the series ‘The Big House’ for The History Channel.
In 1999, he directed and again starred in a TV version of That Championship Season.
Sorvino also lent his voice in Hey Arnold!: The Movie as the main antagonist is Mr. Scheck, the CEO of Future Tech Industries who wants to convert Arnold’s neighborhood into a huge shopping mall.
From 2000 to 2002, Sorvino had a starring role as Frank DeLucca in the television drama That’s Life. He also starred in the comedy Still Standing as Al Miller, father to Bill.
Sorvino filmed The Trouble with Cali in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania.
He directed and starred in the film, and his daughter Mira also starred in the film. Sorvino played GeneCo founder Rotti Largo in the 2008 musical film Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Working with Repo! director Darren Lynn Bousman again, Sorvino played God in The Devil’s Carnival, a short film screened on tour beginning in April 2012.
Sorvino lived in Los Angeles and Madison, Indiana.
He had three children; Mira, Michael, and Amanda from his first marriage with Lorraine Davis. Mira Sorvino is an Academy Award winner and his son Michael Sorvino is an actor and graduate of Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.
On 17 January 2007, news reports detailed that he displayed a gun in front of Daniel Snee, an ex-boyfriend of his daughter Amanda after the man pounded on her hotel room door and made threats.
Amanda testified that Snee threatened to kill her at a hotel on 03 January in Stowe, Vermont.
She said she locked herself in the bathroom and called both the police and her father.
Her 67-year-old father showed up before police, she testified. When police arrived, the young man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, she said.
As a deputy sheriff in Pennsylvania, Sorvino was legally authorized to carry a gun in different states.
He did not point the gun at Snee or threaten him. In March 2008, Sorvino and his daughter Amanda lobbied with the Americans Against Horse Slaughter in Washington, D.C., for Congress and the Senate to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S311/HR503).
The Sorvinos run a private horse rescue in Gilbert, Pennsylvania.
Sorvino was also an accomplished sculptor, specializing in cast bronze.
In December 2008 his sculpture of the late playwright Jason Miller was unveiled in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
In addition, he guest-starred on the 2008 album of Neapolitan singer Eddy Napoli, Napulitanata, performing a duet of the song ‘Luna Rossa’.
In 2007, Sorvino launched Paul Sorvino Foods to market a range of pasta sauces. Based on his mother’s recipe, the product appeared in supermarkets in the northeastern United States in late 2009.
Three years later, Sorvino became part owner of Janson-Beckett Cosmeceuticals.
In an April 2014 interview, Sorvino said, ‘Most people think I’m either a gangster or a cop or something, but the reality is I’m a sculptor, a painter, a best-selling author, many, many things a poet, an opera singer, but none of them is gangster, but, you know, obviously I sort of having a knack for playing these things.
It’s almost my later goal in life to disabuse people of the notion that I’m a slow-moving, heavy-lidded thug, and most people’s impression of me IS that because of the success of Goodfellas and a few other things, but they forget that I was also Dr. Kissinger in Nixon, the deaf lawyer in Dummy, and they forget a lot of things that I’ve done. It would be nice to have my legacy more than that of just tough guy.’
Before screening his film Once Upon a Time in Queens at the Florida Film Festival in Orlando, Florida in April 2014, Sorvino revealed that he writes rhymed and metrical poetry and recited one of his works as an example.
In December 2014, Sorvino married political pundit Dee Dee Benkie after meeting her on Your World With Neil Cavuto.
In January 2018, Sorvino learned that Harvey Weinstein allegedly sexually harassed his daughter, Mira, and then blacklisted her within the film industry after she rejected Weinstein’s sexual demands.
In response, Sorvino told TMZ, ‘He’s going to go to jail.
Oh yeah. That son of a bitch. Good for him if he goes, because if not, he has to meet me. And I will kill the motherfucker. Real simple.
If I had known it, he would not be walking. He’d be in a wheelchair. This pig will get his comeuppance. The law will get him.
He’s going to go to jail and die in jail.’ After several years of ill health, Sorvino died at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, on 25 July 2022, aged 83.
Grandchildren: Mattea Angel Backus, Holden Paul Terry Backus, Lucia Backus, Johnny Christopher King Backus
