The Late Paul Sorvino Honored With Special Award During Jonathan Baker's Oscar Viewing Party
Brooklyn born Paul Sorvino has appeared in nearly 200 films, a variety of television shows, and Broadway productions.
E! founder and fellow Brooklynite Larry Namer presented the 2023 Icon Award honoring Paul to his widow Dee Dee Sorvino. The FRFF Icon Award was presented prior to the official telecast, which sadly overlooked the actor in its "in memoriam" segment.
