NEW YORK (AP) — A 47-year-old actor who starred as the gay firefighter-lover of a closeted mobster on the hit show The Sopranos was found dead of an apparent suicide after family members were unable to reach him.
John Costelloe, who played the hunky short-order cook Johnny Cakes on four episodes of the HBO show, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his Brooklyn home on Dec. 18, said police spokesman Lt. John Grimpel.
Costelloe gained a measure of fame in 2006 when he was cast as Jim "Johnny Cakes" Witowski opposite his longtime friend, actor Joseph Gannascoli, who played gay mob capo Vito Spatafore.
