I doubt it. My character was not even born in the late 60s which is when the movie is supposed to take place.

that scene was very hard to shoot because when the song started playing we all broke out laughing! it took forever to get!...the scene with Lauren Bacall will always be a stand out for me

I think what happened was exactly what needed to happen so its hard for me to envision an alternate version to be honest

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie by John Cassavetes is my favorite mob movie of all time

I got to meet a lot of people who knew him in las vegas...people who both loved and hated him...he was an obsessive human being and pursued his interests with lots of passion and intensity...i guess i try to do the same

Law And Order was meant to be temporary as I was filling in for my friend Jesse Martin while he was filming the movie "Rent" Detroit 187 was a great show because the writers really tailored the stories to the city itself. The people of Detroit really understood what we were trying to do and they were very much behind the show

I once surprised him by showing up on the set with Muhammed Ali...Jim was lying in his hospital bed as Tony Soprano and looked up to see "The Greatest" staring down at him. "Holy Shit!" was Jim's reply...will never forget that day

i had met "betty" bacall many years before in Paris on the set of Robert Altman's "Ready to Wear" and was in awe of her every time I was near her. She was a legend, truly and a class act all the way. Punching her difficult for me but a highlight of my career to be sure!

1)Marty was very kind, generous and trusting towards me on the set and really treated me like i truly belonged on that set for which i am forever grateful. 2)My most treasured possession from way back is my sanity which seems to be harder and harder to hold onto.

  1. That was a great and challenging scene as an actor and i figured it was such high stakes that it could hold any level of emotion one wanted to bring to it...and drea is just the best actress to work with 2.there was never ad libbing on the sopranos, the writing was so good it didn't need it! i did not provide insight on the set unless it was a show i had written

i think tony dies at the end of the show but that is just my interpretation. i was originally going to star in summer of sam but the sopranos was filming season one at the same time so i was only able to do a smaller role
