In one of those weird/sad life imitating art occurences, a minor actor from “The Soprano’s” has been shot and arrested for a police shooting in New York.

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.”

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

The wounded suspects were quickly captured. Investigators identified one as Lillo Brancato Jr., an actor who got 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.”

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the actor and another man were breaking into a vacant home when Enchautegui, who had just finished a late-night shift, heard the sound of smashing glass next door.
