Sopranos actor Frank Vincent died on Wednesday, September 13, in New Jersey, a source confirms to Us Weekly. He was 78.

Aside from playing New York mob boss Phil Leotardo — the nemesis to the late James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano — on the hit HBO series, the actor was known for his roles in Martin Scorsese films Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino. Scorsese discovered Vincent after seeing his acting debut in 1975’s Death Collector, according to Vincent’s website.

Though primarily known for acting, Vincent was also a musician, comedian, author and producer. The North Adams, Massachusetts, native had one son, Anthony, who is also an actor.

Lemme tell you a couple of three things, Mr. Vincent.  Rest in peace.
