Vincent Pastore, best known for his role in "The Sopranos" television series, has died, his manager confirmed to CBS News. He was 80."I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before The Sopranos made him a household name," his manager Robert Attermann said in a statement. "To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable 'Big Pussy,' but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more."Pastore was found dead inside his Bronx home Saturday afternoon, and there was no indication of criminality, according to authorities.
