American character actor, Genaro Anthony “Tony” Sirico, Jr. has an estimated net worth of $10 million. There’s a reason Brooklyn-born Tony Sirico has such a knack for playing hoods: he used to be one. After doing some hard time for armed robbery, Sirico opted to give up crime and take a stab at acting. From the late ’70s on, he made a career of playing mob thugs and crooked cops in such films as Fingers and GoodFellas. However, it was his performance as wise guy Paulie “Walnuts” Gualtieri on HBO’s The Sopranos that lifted Sirico from bit-player to acclaimed actor.

Originally an up-and-coming mobster, Tony Sirico was jailed over 25 times in the 60s and 70s. He found acting while serving a four-year jail sentence, and is most widely recognized for his work on “The Sopranos”. Born Genaro Anthony Sirico, Jr. on July 29, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York, United States.
