Actor charged with murdering police officer.

A young police officer dying from a bullet to his chest shot two burglars early Saturday, one of them identified as an actor who played a misfit mobster on The Sopranos television series.

Officer Daniel Enchautegui, 28, collapsed in the driveway of his Bronx, N.Y., home and died shortly afterward.

The wounded suspects were quickly captured. Investigators identified one as Lillo Brancato, an actor who had his break in the Robert De Niro-directed film A Bronx Tale in 1993 and played doomed mob wannabe Matt Bevilacqua during the 1999-2000 season of The Sopranos.

Brancato, 29, of Yonkers, N.Y., was also arrested in June for alleged heroin possession. . . . . .Full Story
