Pastore was born in The Bronx, New York, of Italian-American descent. A former club-owner in New Rochelle, New York, he turned to acting at the suggestion of his friends Matt and Kevin Dillon. He has made appearances in films ranging from Goodfellas to Shark Tale, but he is arguably best known for the role of Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero on The Sopranos.
