Paul Sorvino
Wednesday
December 19, 2001
Actor
Paul Sorvino is best known for playing the heavy
hitting mob boss Pauly in “Goodfellas,”
Henry Kissinger in “Nixon,” and most recently
as the over protective pop on the CBS show, “That's
Life.” Sorvino is a natural at playing the
tough guy, but deep down he has a soft side. |
Sorvino
says, “I'm not happy when I'm not producing art everyday.”
When Sorvino is not acting he's also a professional opera
singer, a published poet and a painter. But he says he
would give it all up to be a sculptor.
Sorvino adds, “It involves everything I've got. It
was an ability I had as a child and sculpting always fascinated
me.”
A fascination that started 30 years ago is now an all-consuming
passion. A self-taught artist, Paul now pounds the clay
every day. He's produced over 100 pieces ranging from
full figured boxers to busts. Paul says he approaches
his art like his acting.
Sorvino says, “My preparation is exhaustive and my
execution is lightening fast.”
It's his latest project that this native New Yorker is
most excited about. It will be a sculpture of a New York
firefighter that he intends to give to the city.
Sorviono says, “I want to make as beautiful of a
sculpture I can make, showing this great heart, this great
courage of these great men and women.” |
