R.I.P. Paul Herman, crime movie stalwart who played Beansie on The Sopranos dead at 76
Paul Herman, a stalwart presence in Martin Scorsese's films who charmed HBO audiences as Beansie on The Sopranos, died on his 76th birthday.
He was the guy near the end of CoM that Tom Cruise matched up with.
I met him at dinner one night walking out of Ago in West Hollywood with Mike Segal. Mike recognized him from CoM. Stopped and we all talked for about 5 minutes. Super nice guy.
Was a trip, as he was standing at the bar JUST like in CoM and Segal being there. Super nice guy, he looked real old back then, maybe 6-7 years ago I’d guess.
I’d have never noticed him, Mike spotted him right away. We had dinner with Paul Sorvino one of Mike’s other friends. I didn’t know who he was. I still don’t. I know he’s famous.
RIP
Fatboy
