Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Summer of Sam) and I do an impromptu podcast - and it's so relaxed that you'll have a 100% different experience than when you listened to his original episode of Really Famous.
You'll hear:
- Who he based Christopher Moltisanti on (a real-life person! who has no idea!)
- Why he said "F that" about David Chase
- Why he knew James Gandolfini really well, but Edie Falco didn't
- Who he stays in touch with from The Sopranos
- Who he hangs out with
- What he does when he's bored
- What his kids think of him in The Sopranos and Goodfellas
- Why he moved to Santa Barbara
- Why he recently moved back to New York and is now bicoastal
We also:
- Are so relaxed that it's actually quite amusing
- Bond over childhood TV and our favorite shows now
- Analyze Spike Lee
- Laugh at each other
- Overanalyze this conversation ... and then don't
