Headline: NEWS OF THE WEEK: Sopranos star Jerry Adler dead at 96

Caption:

The New York native "passed peacefully in his sleep", a representative for the family told Fox News Digital. Adler didn't kick-start his onscreen career until later in life. "I was really getting into the twilight of a mediocre career," he told The New York Times in 1992. Then the casting director for The Public Eye - a longtime friend of one of Adler's daughters - pushed him to audition for the role of a newspaper columnist in the film, which starred Joe Pesci.
