RIP, "Johnny Cakes"



NYPost via Gawker:

"The Brooklyn actor who played Johnny Cakes - the gay-fireman lover of a mob capo on 'The Sopranos' - killed himself in a holiday tragedy that has stunned family and friends.

"The front door to John Costelloe's Sunset Park home was still sealed with police stickers yesterday, more than a week after the rugged 47-year-old actor committed suicide.

"Costelloe, a former FDNY firefighter, shot himself in the head in his basement bedroom on Dec. 16, cops and pals said.

"'It's beyond me. This is too much for me to handle right now,' the actor's dad, Michael Costelloe, 77, said yesterday."
