Former Sopranos star Vincent Pastore has pulled out of Dancing With the Stars after only one week of training. The sixty-year-old actor says training was too physically demanding.

"When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars, I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me," he said in a statement Wednesday. "Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity. 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."

There's no word yet on who, if anyone, will replace Vincent on the show. I'll keep you posted.
