Sopranos castoff will be in jail for a long time
I don't know if this is supposed to be a horrific form of character research or some kind of death wish. Either way, Lillo Brancato Jr. won't have to worry about sweating another audition for "The Sopranos." Instead he'll be sweating shower time in cell block B after getting arrested for not only attempted burglary, but also murder of an NYPD officer during a shootout in the Bronx. The good news is the cop nearly took Brancato and his sidekick out.
The wounded suspects were quickly captured. Investigators identified one as Lillo Brancato Jr., an actor who got his break in the Robert De Niro-directed film "A Bronx Tale" in 1993, and played doomed mob wannabe Matt Bevilacqua during the 1999-2000 season of "The Sopranos."
Hopefully this assclown survives so "The Sopranos" can make an episode out of his execution. I'm sure James Gandolfini will have plenty of time to cook something up since that show puts out a new season as often as the World Cup.
UPDATE: Thanks to the help of our readers, I've discovered this guy was already offed on an episode of The Sopranos. Ok, I get it. Don't ridicule me because I blew my plasma money on beanie babies instead of a subscription to HBO.

He was already executed on the show by Tony Soprano himself. Great research guys.

If Rappers can do it, why can't actors?

Well now the glamour of the punk on the TV will not be measuring up now will it?
This wasn't a two bit crime. It appears both criminals had guns and overpowered the one officer. Not before he laid some serious lead on them.
I hope he lives a full crippled life as the bitch of a big black inmate.

Uh, also. James Gandolfini is an actor. As far as I know he isn't coming up with the stories and plots on the Sopranos. That guys' name is David Chase, I think.

What in the world does a guy like him need crime for? I know celebrities are severely unhinged but killing someone? What a waste of life.

He'll be receiving rectal prison snake for the next decade or so...a small step down from Sopranos. Small step. VERY SMALL STEP, because I feel like I'm being unpleasantly violated when I'm forced to watch Sopranos.
PS Someone call Reese and tell her this dude took her mandible.

As usual life is stranger than fiction. What a sad, disgusting situation.

I think he`ll have plenty of rectal recitals in the future! I feel for the cop`s family.

He wasn't armed and from what I hear from the details he had nothing to do with the shooting. A good lawyer will get him off with little or no time.

He'll be a huge contributor to the HRC campaign. Unless he wants to rot in jail the rest of his life. Call me
