Vincent Pastore, who spent decades giving voice to men who lived in the margins of loyalty and consequence, has died at eighty. He is remembered most for Big Pussy Bonpensiero, the conflicted soldier at the heart of The Sopranos whose arc of betrayal and loss became one of television's most humanizing portraits of a criminal life. His passing is another quiet closing of the door on the era when a cable drama rewrote what storytelling on television could mean.
