“Big Pussy” from the HBO show ‘The Sopranos, actor Vincent Pastore, has withdrawn from ABC’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ competition after a week of intense training, deciding the physical demands of the 10-week season were just too difficult for him to handle. “When I initially committed to joining ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me. Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity,” said Pastore. “I’d like to thank ABC and the show’s producers for inviting me to participate. I wish my partner, Edyta, and the other dancers the best of luck.” Previously seen on VH1′s ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ where he lost 29 pounds
