When The Sopranos began airing, Magnussen was a teenager without premium cable. Knew it was a thing, but living in Georgia at the time, it was on the periphery.
That meant watching the series straight through, from the pilot episode all the way to when the screen finally cuts to black. When asked which specific scenes and episodes he used as reference, Magnussen smiles and then clams up. For an actor, playing a character someone else made famous can be intimidating. For his part, Magnussen binged The Sopranos and also watched interviews with Sirico.
He was playing a heightened version of himself. That made playing Paulie doubly difficult. Taylor once heard Chase call Sirico inimitable. That Paulie was fully formed. These are his building blocks. During the festival, Paulie was tested for prostate cancer because of an elevated prostate-specific antigen.
With his uncertain parentage, there was no way of knowing if he was genetically predisposed to the disease or not. During a restless night awaiting his biopsy results, Paulie awoke at 3 a. There he had a striking vision of the Virgin Mary hovering above the stage. Paulie later visited Nucci at Green Grove, and they had a silent reconciliation.
The disease was apparently caught in an early stage, and Paulie underwent a course of radiation therapy. Paulie suggested that his luck at having been diagnosed early was a reward for good deeds in his life, and Tony agreed with him. He stated in the episode " Stage 5 ", that he beat the cancer, after learning of Johnny Sack's death from lung cancer.
On the trip and in Miami, Paulie begins to reminisce about the old days at which point he brings up Big Pussy Bonpensiero and Ralph Cifaretto and how they all four went out to dinner the night Tony whacked Willie Overall. Tony begins to grow somewhat suspicious of Paulie's idiosyncrasies and inclination to divulge information to other people, and Tony questioned him several times about the joke Ralph Cifaretto made about Ginny Sacramoni 's weight.
Eventually, the Overall's murder was blamed on the deceased Jackie Aprile, Sr. Paulie had serious misgivings about going to sea with Tony due to the boat trip that was used to lure informant Pussy Bonpensiero to his death. On the boat, Paulie continues to deny informing Johnny Sack of Ralph's joke about his wife. While Tony seriously considered murdering Paulie, he ultimately decided to spare his life.
The overly expensive gift gave the impression of Paulie to Carmela that "there is something seriously wrong with that man", but Tony defends him, saying it was people like Paulie who allowed Tony and Carmela to live the way they did.
In the episode " Walk like a Man ", Paulie's nephew, Little Paulie, was beaten by Christopher over a dispute and thrown out a second-story window, suffering six broken vertebrae. A furious Paulie tore up Christopher's lawn with his car, leaving Chris's wife shaken. Later in the episode, they seemed to have made up, and drank together at the Bada Bing. However, Paulie made off-color remarks about Christopher's daughter, which caused an inebriated Chris to storm out and later kill his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor J.
In the episode, " Kennedy and Heidi ", Paulie was left surprisingly grief-stricken when Christopher was killed, reflecting that their argument over money and respect was trivial and that he should have been nicer to him, in life.
At first, Paulie was hesitant because all the bad luck that had befallen previous capos of that crew but immediately changes his mind after clever persuasion. Throughout the shows run other aspects of the crew's criminal activities developed or were revealed. These include control of the Joint Fitters Union, credit card hijacking run by Benny Fazio , betting shop , cigarette smuggling both run by Christopher , and protection racketing run by Patsy.
Paulie soon became Tony's biggest earner. However, by season four Paulie's business hit a low point, especially in comparison to the Cifaretto and Barese crew. By season 5 Paulie's crew regained its position as one of the best earners in the family.
When Paulie was promoted to Underboss between seasons 5 and 6, Christopher took over as Capo of his old crew. The following is a list of murders committed by or referenced to on the show by Paulie.
With eight confirmed murders, and one possible murder, he holds the record of having killed the most people in the series run. Like many other gangsters, Paulie is partial to Cadillacs - favoring beige colored Cadillacs. Although it is never explicitly stated that he is "Paulie Walnuts," his performances in all of them have been consistent with that character.
He appears in a commercial for Aftonbladet, advertising the tabloid being shipped with a free Sopranos DVD weekly in the period. The Sopranos Wiki Explore. The Sopranos. DiMeo crime family List of deaths. The Many Saints of Newark. Alessandro Nivola Leslie Odom Jr. Explore Wikis Community Central.
