According to police records, Tampa police officers arrested 51-year-old Gannascoli early Friday morning. Records say Gannascoli was driving his 2010 Dodge down a local boulevard when cops pulled him over at 2:42 a.m. after he allegedly crossed a line marker while making a right turn and then drifted across another lane.

Police officers say they smelled alcohol on the actor's breath and observed his bloodshot, watery eyes and slurred speech and issued a field sobriety test. The 51-year-old blew a .111 on a Breathalyzer, well above Florida's legal limit of .08., reported EOnline.com.

Gannascoli has posted a $500 bond and is expected to be released from Hillsborough County jail later Friday. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.

Gannascoli, of East Rockaway, N.Y., played the character Vito Spatafore on the HBO drama "The Sopranos." In the series, Gannascoli's character was a mobster who was killed because he was gay.
