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."
