For a quick fact, Frank was married to his first wife (whose name has not been made public) back in the 60s, and he had two sons with his former wife before the two ended their married life with a divorce.

The actor is best known for his extensive portrayal of Tony Soprano's arch rival, Phil Leotardo in the iconic series "The Sopranos" starting in season five and was in it until the series' conclusion back in 2007. 

He is equally recognized for his work on movies like "Raging Bull," "Goodfellas," and "Casino." The success of these films as well as other mega hit projects is the reason why the actor was enjoying a net worth of $5 million.

Let us all pray for the soul of the deceased rest to live in eternal peace and may the Lord provide the family of the dead with light and strength during this tough period.
