told The Post in 2020 for the movie’s 30th anniversary that Sorvino would sing opera between takes.Of his career-making role in “Goodfellas,” Sorvino once recalled how he felt typecast. “There are many people who think I’m actually a gangster or a mafioso, largely because of ‘Goodfellas,’” he once said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I suppose that’s the price you pay for being effective in a role.”He had three children from his first marriage to Lorraine Davis, including Academy Award-winning actor Mira Sorvino.
He also directed and starred in a film written by his daughter, Amanda, and featuring his son, Michael.Sorvino was also a staunch opponent of disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein, who allegedly was accused of blacklisting Mira, after she refused his sexual advances. Telling TMZ in 2018, Sorvino said: “If I meet him on the street, he oughta hope that he goes to jail. Because if we come across [one another], I think he’ll be lying on the floor somehow, magically. He’s gonna go to jail.
That son of a bitch, good for him if he goes, because if not, then he has to meet me, and I’ll kill that motherf—ker.”He claimed at the time he only learned about the sexual harassment and assault and blacklisting allegations against the “Shakespeare in Love” filmmaker when the public did, stating, “If I had known it, he would not be walking. He’d be in a wheelchair.”“My daughter is a wonderful person,” he said at the time. “A courageous and wonderful human being and doesn’t deserve to have been treated that way by this pig.
This pig will get his comeuppance. The law will get him. He’s going to go to jail and die in jail.
