'That son of a b***h--good for him if he goes. 'Cause otherwise he has to meet me, and I will kill the motherf**ker. It's real simple,' the 'Law and Order' vet says in a new interview.

AceShowbiz - Paul Sorvino isn't shy away to express how he really feels about Harvey Weinstein blacklisting his daughter Mira Sorvino. Talking to TMZ while leaving Bristol Farms in West Hollywood on Tuesday, January 2, the "Goodfellas" actor didn't mince words and said that the disgraced producer "ought to hope that he goes to jail."
The "Law & Order" alum went on saying, "Because if we come across, I think he'll be lying on the floor somehow--magically." When the news outlet told the actor that two of Harvey's cases had been forwarded to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, Paul responded, "He's going to go to jail. Oh yeah."
He added, "That son of a b***h--good for him if he goes. 'Cause otherwise he has to meet me, and I will kill the motherf**ker. It's real simple."
Of his daughter's sexual harassment accusation against Harvey, Paul said, "No, I didn't know the extent of it. No, I did not. I sure didn't." He continued, "If I had known it…he would not be walking. He would be on a wheelchair."
Paul later revealed that he was "absolutely furious" when he learned about the allegations and complimented Mira for coming forward. "My daughter is a wonderful person--courageous and a wonderful human being who doesn't deserve to have been treated this way by this pig," he said of the "Mimic" actress, who alleged that when she found herself in a hotel room with Harvey in 1995, he "started massaging my shoulders, which made me very uncomfortable, and then tried to get more physical, sort of chasing me around."
The Oscar-winning actress took to Twitter to praise her dad. "My love for my father has only continued since this moment. All the love in my heart!" she wrote. Mira went on dubbing Paul "the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist- the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

It arrived after Mira wrote on Twitter that Harvey "derailed my career." Retweeting an article featuring Peter Jackson's claim about Harvey blacklisting her and Ashley Judd, Mira said, "Just seeing this after I awoke, I burst out crying. There it is, confirmation that Harvey Weinstein derailed my career, something I suspected but was unsure. Thank you Peter Jackson for being honest. I'm just heartsick."
