Why Do The Sopranos Actors HATE Joseph Gannascoli? 

hell no

Your commentary gets better & better sir.. you illuminate us all 💯

On another subject.. The sopranos podcast had a writer on who said there was a sopranos show based on a wise guy who was crazy & totally influenced by Andrew Loog Oldham (the savvy svengali around the early rolling stones) he's alive & living in Colombia & I used to do bits of online press for him few yrs ago.. so I mailed him when I heard this on the podcast.. but don't think he believed me (Andrew was good friends with Van Zandt, working on his radio show a few yrs back.. but they fell out.. Steven got Andrew lined up with an award at the RnR Hall of fame event.. but Andrew never picked it up as he didn't want to be handed the award by Peter Asher.. so Van Zandt wasn't impressed)

Here all along I thought suffered from the 3.5 season curse . When tge series starts running dry on content. Key indicators are dream sequences and anything resembling a musical episode, and additionally characters going so far from the original it's hard to believe. Rescue Me also suffered from this curse. But in reality it's was vitos pole greasing ways .

I just want CineRanter to know, there could be a line a mile long at Cozzarelli's.😊

CineRanter is weird lol

maybe he took his part to heart, and wanted to hold it for them?

Cineranter is good. He gives good insight

When has Cineranter had a weird interaction with anybody? He just does good insight videos. Fuckin slander

Lmao that's a really good point, in particular Bobby seems incredibly arrogant and the kind of guy who gets angry deep down cause all anybody knows him as is "Bobby", same with the actor who played Christopher only i know for a *fact* that's how HE is lol.

It's often is the case that the worst villains actors are often the nicest people around & some of the good guys actors are very arrogant + not so likeable in real life. The two actors on the Sopranos that seemed to be the most like their personality characters in real life are Paulie & Adrianna.

​@@jakep1979 lol some people say Tony Sirico wasn't even playing a character, HE WAS Paulie irl

@jakep1979 I'd have to put Tony in with those two as well, cause James Gandolfini was apparently the greatest thing since sliced bread particularly to the other cast members-having catered meals brought in for them, free massages by pro massage therapists and all kinds of stuff like that, apparently he was just the most generous and nicest guy and even stood with the other cast mates on a few occasions like when they all wanted a raise in pay while James was *banking* off it hard but he still stood by them. Tony Sirico on the otherhand (Paulie), I think it's because he was a legit 'mob hand,' just a regular guy who probably never once in his life thought he'd be an actor until way down the line; he was arrested on drug and weapons charges before, and was clearly acting as muscle for the Mafia, on some level, after his time in the Army (where he also became an amateur pro boxer). There's an old interview with him on here from the 90s, he talks about his past a bit but specifically about the time he was driven to murder over this broad that he fell in love with and even left his own wife for, I can't remember all the details but either some guy was hitting on her or he did something to her so he just went off on this guy, and he all but admits that he killed him. But even despite his criminal past, he was a really nice and down to earth guy.

@@rafaelvono9129 if you watched some interviews with him, you'd know he was not like that. There was obviously a tad of caricature added to the character. He didn't even talk at that voice tone and had those manneurisms. He was kind of the comedy relief of the gang and he understood that.

Why did I hear that in junior voice 😂😂😂

Small hands, that was his problem.

Let me tell you something. Nowadays everybody's got to make a drama on internet, and write huge wall text of a posts on all their socials, and make exposés on each other on RU-vid that conveniently go beyond 10 minutes even if most of the video is just empty and a waste of time. Whatever happened to telephone tough guy? The strong, silent type; that was a true tech connoisseur. He wasn’t in touch with his target audience , he just gave the most abominable slurs and curses and threw the phone away. So what they didn’t know, once they got Telephone Tough Guy in touch with his feelings, that they wouldn’t be able to make everything about his brand! And then it’s ‘(Insert Twitter drama)is huge, '(Insert Twitter Microcelebrity) situation is horrible, (Insert trivial internet drama) vaffanculo!’

Very much this. I watched maybe the first 2 episodes then had to quit. It was unbearable. I would rather Imperioli and maybe one of the other younger cast members.

He’d make the worst takes like saying Tony lived at the end and if he didn’t find a convo interesting he’d just interrupt and say it wasn’t important. Very tough guy to get along with it seems.

BUT DIDJA HAFTA READ FOR DAVID??????

liked Schirippa way more than Imperioli. Imperioli was all about name-dropping and butt-kissing. Schirippa told the truth with no filter.

No, Schirippa isn’t a petty prick. He’s just not a woke douchebag. That’s what people like you don’t like. Admit it.

Honest question what’s weird about gannasxoli?

@@shanemac1646 him wanting to be more than the brunt of fat jokes in a series full of fleshed-out characters

@@shanemac1646 i just meant the stuff from the previous video, the minor weird stories people have about him being pushy about merch and stuff. we don't know that stuff is true, so that's why i said "seems."

No one is saying he’s a complete wanker 24/7 , please pay attention and read some of his history and behaviour..

You cant believe all you read But you can form your own opinions by personal experience. My experience of Joe, was that he was friendly and approachable, others may have had a different experience. All in all to paraphrase an expression from the show. Im not gonna hang the guy on the word of some douchebag on the internet.

And Vito was a bottom lol

I loved him like a brother in law

Really? I thought he was a Bottom guy. Catching, not pitching.

Before and way before!

Very allegorical

Sun Tuh-Zoo ova here!

Some of what you say is true. I also thought Imperioli had the personality of cardboard. I just couldn't get into it with either of them, unless they had a very good guest.

you are exagerating. Bobby was not THAT bad. Also, as others suggested, he got much better with later episodes

@@Lukqdos I mean, I'm not exaggerating, I'm literally reporting a fact: I stopped watching the podcast because at a certain point I just could not stand him. I don't know what else to say. I'm just speaking from my own experience. If you didn't think he was *that* bad, then great! I'm glad you were able to enjoy the show! And like I say, I stopped watching so I can't speak to whether he got better or not; I take your word that he did!

​@@babylonian.captivity I called Schirripa out on his lack of personal implication and he insulted me which I reuploaded to my channel because it was hilarious,😂😂 Now, Imperioli is a horrible, no good pretentious leftist, but with all his flaws he is a smart and cultivated dude and his psychological and philosophical takes on the meaning of some of the deepest scenes (specially the dreams) were really worth exploring for a fan like me. UNFORTUNATELY every time something like that would came up, Schirripa would brush it off with a lewd joke or something to that effect and go straight to the next scene. These episodes came out during lockdowns so I really had nothing better to do, but it was extremely frustrating indeed. Schirripa felt genuinely offended when I called him out on his BS so I don't think he was actively trying to sabotage the discussion (as in, bad intentions), it's just that the IQ discrepancy between the two made the dialogue impossible. Sub 100 IQ people like Schirripa literally CAN NOT understand let alone discuss abstract concepts and reasoning. That's just noise to them, and if you try too hard to make them understand or point it out to them they can become violent, so at some point Imperioli just gave up on the scenarios and started making lewd jokes too. Sad !

Give em a break. It’s an emotional day…when it comes to peddling, all bets are off .

This one girl who was cyber stalking me managed to meet her. She told me that she and him spoke, she told him how I liked sopranos and exaggerated that I was a huge fan of Vito just so she can get the most from him for me, (which I even told her was a good call and appreciated it) but when she said that he started to hit on her I was like "Really? Cool!" She expected me to I guess defend her honor, but it's Vito. I love all the cast. Vito being a bit of a scuzz ball makes me feel like Joseph is just more closer to his character which I love. Ultimately, she said that he was a very nice guy, just a bit too strong and eager when it came to opportunities, but who wouldn't?

it's the acting classes... makes em devious

Walt Whitman ovah here

Gannascoli did nothing wrong. Gannascoli proposed a great story idea and the writers went with it. I doubt Scrippa would have wanted his character gay to get the screentime, so he just needs to get over it at this point. The arguing over who really knew James Gandolfini was lame - obviously Gannascoli shared a lot of scenes with the guy so probably did feel crushed by the death.

Who else is unlikable?

Yeah honestly pretty much all of The Sopranos cast are cringe in real life (a few exceptions obviously.)

Who else was really weird? Michael Imperioli is like some kind of spiritual alternative rock guy but that doesn't make him wierd, it's just not what people are expecting based off his character. Actors in real life are more likely to be artistic/creative types who have unusual or niche interests. They're not all average joe working class guys even if that's what they portray.

My aunt knows Aida Turturro (Janice) personally, and says she is the nicest person. Which was surprising. Because in real life she didn't.

Proof of this made up story or keep your mouth chuut.
