The actor and leader of the off-Broadway company MCC Theatre died on Saturday (27 August) three years after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
LuPone – brother of Tony award-winner Patti LuPone – played Dr Bruce “Cooze’ Cusamano, the neighbour of James Ganfolini’s Tony Soprano in HBO’s hit series The Sopranos.
LuPone’s death was announced by the MCC Theatre over the weekend in a statement given to the Associated Press.
