Actor Paul Sorvino has agreed to design and execute a sculpture in honor of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and sometime actor Jason Miller, who died of a heart attack in 2001. He was 62.
Sorvino, a veteran actor and longtime friend of Miller, performed in Scranton on stage and in film and sang opera there. He is also the father of actress Mira Sorvino.
Miller won a Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for "That Championship Season," which was later made into a movie. He also received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Father Damien Karras in the horror movie "The Exorcist."

| One of two great things that Paul will have brought into this world, a statue commemorating a figure from one of Horror's finest movies, and a really hot daughter. seriously, though, i'm glad to see him being honored. i was disappointed when i heard he had died. it was way too soon. 62 is comparable to 30 80 years ago. | |
