When I heard James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli and Nancy Marchand were in it, I knew it was going to be a total class act. I knew right away this was a role to kill for." "I've done like 45 movies, played 40 gangsters and five crooked cops" "It makes some great movies. I mean, some of my favorite films growing up, have been, forgive me, gangster films. I learned how to walk and talk watching Jimmy Cagney. It's that, it's the power, it's the glamour. The mob just has all that mysticism around it that's magical."
