Chris Diamantopoulos Reveals Late Sopranos Star Tony Sirico Accidentally Hit Him with a Real Pipe

Chris Diamantopoulos talks about getting whacked by Tony Sirico's Paulie Walnuts on the final season of 'The Sopranos' and his latest project, the Prime Video series 'The Sticky.'

Unaware of his father’s mafia ties, he disobeys family friend Tony’s request and is quickly met with the consequences: a beating from Paulie. Diamantopoulos says he's “learned a lot from so many of the actors he’s worked with.” But his latest character, The Sticky ’s Mike Byrne, is a mob type that audiences haven’t seen on TV as much. “I enjoyed finding the cracks in the character, then shattering them and exposing underneath what was really there — this frightened, insecure, broken loser of a man,” he says.
