List of characters...
Peter Paul Gualtieri (or Paulie Walnuts), played by Tony Sirico, is one of Tony Soprano's captains in the fictional HBO TV series, The Sopranos.
Paulie grew up as a bad street kid. He spent time in and out of juvenile correctional facilities until he became an enforcer for Johnny Boy Soprano, Tony's father. He spent some brief time in the Army where he was eventually drummed out through Section 8 (discharge because of psychiatric reasons). Afterwards, he spent time in and out of prison. Eventually, he worked his way up through the DiMeo crime family, reaching captain under Tony.
Paulie has an extremely violent temperament and is very quick to fly off the handle for anything. He's also incredibly paranoid and constantly trying to "play the field." During a brief time in jail, he communicated with Johnny Sack, an underboss of the New York family, trying to switch allegiances, right under Tony's nose.
The only person Paulie has a true love for is his mother, whom he watches over constantly.
