Lilo Brancato, Jr., was charged with killing NYPD officer Daniel Enchautegu in The Bronx over the weekend. Brancato appeared in numerous films, including starring (as an unknown) in the DeNiro-directed A Bronx Tale in 1993. He also played the role of Matt Bevalaqua in The Sopranos.He and his partner (who seems to have been the actual shooter) were seriously injured by the officer they gunned down "when they capped a night of drunken partying at a Bronx strip club by breaking into the apartment of a dead man in a sick search for drugs, officials revealed yesterday. "
You may remember him as Matt Bevalaqua in The Sopranos. He played one of the flat out dumbest characters on The Sopranos (and to be the dumbest on that show requires some doing). His character attempts to assassinate Capo Christopher Moltisanti. He didn't feel they were moving up the ladder as quickly as they could. His partner was killed by Christopher during their assassination attempt calculated to win Richie's Aprile's favor. Pussy and Tony kill Bevalaqua in Episode #22 - From Where to Eternity. It's not easy to be a despicable character on The Sopranos, but Brancato pulled it off. Now we learn it was just method acting.
