Appearances in Other Media
Since his appearance on The Sopranos, Tony Sirico has appeared in several TV commercials. Although it is never explicitly stated that he is "Paulie Walnuts," his performances in all of them have been consistent with that character.
- Denny's commercials:
- In the first one, he is in a fast food restaurant trying to pay with Monopoly-like money for a breakfast meal. When the cashier says he can't accept the money because it is not real, Sirico responds, "That's not a real breakfast!" The commercial ends when Sirico throws down a wad of Monopoly money and says to the cashier, "Go buy yourself something nice."
- In the second one, he plays a police detective standing with a victim behind a one-way mirror in a police line-up. The victim points to a suspect and says, "That's the one who sold me the fake breakfast." Sirico responds, "Calm down, chief. He can't harm you no more."
- The third one shows Sirico tying a rope to the bumper of his Cadillac DeVille, and connecting the other end to a billboard advertising breakfast. When someone asks what he is doing he responds, "Is that the Grand Slam?" The next shot shows him driving away and pulling the billboard down.
- In addition, Sirico appeared in a Netflix commercial in 2003.
- He appears in a commercial for Aftonbladet, advertising the tabloid's being shipped with a free Sopranos DVD weekly in the 2009 period.
