“Frank was the consummate pro in every film, every scene. He really brought bad guys to life,” Soprano’s actor Federico Castelluccio told RadarOnline.com.

William DeMeo, who played Vincent’s son in A Killer’s Kiss, told RadarOnline.com: “There is no other Frank Vincent. As soon as you think of him for a role, that’s it. He was the guy to call. No imitators. Frank was the real thing.”

A rep for the actor has not responded to RadarOnline.com’s calls for comment.
