'The Sopranos' & 'The Wire' Star Charley Scalies Dies, Aged 84
Charley Scalies, best known for portraying Thomas "Horseface" Pakusa on HBO's The Wire and Tony Soprano's high school football coach in The Sopranos, has sadly passed away. The actor died on Thursday, May 1, at a nursing facility in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. His daughter, Anne Marie Scalies, told The Hollywood Reporter that Scalies had a long battle with Alzheimer's. A Philadelphia native, Scalies looked at all of his roles as a humbling experience, sharing in a 2015 interview that the thing that made him smile was knowing his great-grandchildren and beyond would "get to see what Poppi looked and sounded like." He was 84.
