Actor Paul Sorvino had an absolutely incredible career with rolls in movies and TV, singing opera as well as his work as a sculptor and writer. His roles in films like Goodfellas, Romeo and Juliet and The Gambler are as diverse as they are fascinating but it was in Carl Reiner's 1977 film Oh God! that we are celebrating today. To say that Mr. Sorvino fully committed to this role is an understatement. He is dynamic, loud arrogant and very, very funny. Oh God! also happens to be a movie that seems...
