I didn't have much care for him throughout the series but the more I rewatched the series, the more I realize how important he was for the cast plus his wife on there is a smoke show, that perfect mix of looking half Italian and half Spanish.
Rip Paulie walnuts. One of the best characters and someone who’s given me the most laughs and the most good times of any character on the screen. You will be missed
The funniest line I remember is when Paulie and Christopher were at Johnny Sacks daughter's wedding and her name was Allegra, Christopher says "Who names their kid after cold medicine? Paulie says " She wasn't named after cold medicine it means so and so in Italian.. Christopher says "I know but whats that got to do with cold medicine?"😂
In the Pine Barrens episode when Paulie and Christopher are eating the ketchup packets and Paulie says “try it with the relish” idk why it makes me laugh every time 😂😂😂
I think the funniest line is when Chris and paulie are lost in the woods. They find a van freezing amd starving eating Nathan's ketchup packs. They start arguing and chris says we should have stopped at roy Rodgers. Or when Tony tells Chris he is going to take this family into the 21st century. Chris says thanks but we are already in the 21st century tony
I was born in 1997, this show premiered 1999 and I remember my parents watching this in 2006/2007 and yelling at me to get up to bed because they were so zoned in and captivated by this show and didn’t want to miss a second. It’s 2020 now and I’ve just finished The Sopranos. I can honestly say, it’s lived up to the hype
Exact same thing with me. My parents used to send my brother and I to bed and watch it all night. Like you, I also just finished it this year and loved it, best show ever.
AGREE! 💯 It’s cool that we as the audience feel that way about a show and cast, then hearing how they were all like a family on set. That there was no jealousy or animosity, makes it even better. When Dominic starts breaking down had me 😭 I was already a little teary listening to them reminisce about him, so it didn’t take much for me to get that emotional. I’m also a softy when I see a man cry. Also, Robert telling the story on how he respected them on set as serious actors but checked up on them, not wanting them to know he did it, like they were his real kids. 🥰 ‘The Drop’ has been on FLIX and other channels a lot lately and I absolutely LOVE that movie because of Tom Hardy and James. But knowing it was his last performance makes it bittersweet.
Because their acting was that good, I too forgot I was watching a tv show and wound up watching it from beginning to end 5 times now. And will most likely do it over and over again.
Holy crap, Lorraine Bracco is SO the OPPOSITE of her character Dr. Melfi. A complete extrovert, giddy and bubbling, as opposed to the introverted & rather reserved Melfi. Just goes to show how amazing of an actress she is!
@@CitizenJWord I have a rule now that I pretty much don’t discuss what currently watching because the wrong person will spoil it and I don’t watch interviews until after because of spoilers also

@@xenafan234 I came back for this just to say I finished it last night and personally like the ambiguous ending. I am actually of the opinion Tony and his family live. In the event they did die, I am glad it was not shown, there would be no need to actually see it.
That’s great that Dominic watches the show. That line he cried at where Tony says “Don’t you love me?” and Junior’s reaction and the whole scene was just so emotional and perfect. Great show, so many great writers, actors, cameramen came together at the right time to make this masterpiece.
Tony's parents were abusive and cold but Corrado was a loving uncle. And yet even his loving uncle was a critical presence in his life (especially of his athletic prowess!) and ended up in a mob war with him. What a family. A complex relationship and an incredibly moving scene, with that sad empty music at the end. Dominic crying about it again years later was heartwarming. Or perhaps heart wrenching. "More sweet than bitter" as he said.
The fact that Jimmy was talking to kids parents and managers to be sure they were economically and psychologically ok is still one of the most astonishing thing I have ever know about Hollywood actors. What an amazing person.
Agreed! Hearing that blew my mind. He is clearly hugely missed by all the cast which is surely testiment to what a great guy he was. They all talk about him with such love and respect that is genuine and such a change from how these things normally play out.....💔 R.I.P. James Gandolfini.
He was a real gangster back in the day. I still see him in the neighborhood. He is not acting. He walks and talks exactly like the character. There is no difference
Tony Sirico seemed like he already had dementia by this point, but his "You got that?" during his introduction was classic Paulie. Hilarious and intimidating.

It looks to me like he might have had a stroke at some point and possibly even some signs of Parkinson's. I have seen him in interviews before this and his speech and movements did not seem as delayed.
@Axiom Steel The actor who plays Uncle Junior, Dominic Chianese, is 88. The actor who played Hesh, Jerry Adler, is 91. 78 isn't totally old by today's standards and you can still be in great shape. Paul McCartney is 78 and still rockin'. Tony Sirico is 78 and I believe it is Dementia as I have been around 3 grandparents that went through it.
Old age hits people differently, there's no point in making comparisons about other old actors from the show still being relatively healthy and quick witted.
I remember seeing it the first time and having to rewind it simply because of how genuine it looked. It's nice to come and find out it was genuine in a way for Dominick.

This work of art, The Sopranos, would never be the same without him, the best supporting character in tv series ever, Tony Sirico aka Paulie Walnuts (July 29, 1942 - July 8, 2022). He was a tough guy on TV screens as well as in real life, but he was certainly not an unjust, crooked and evil man in real life, moreover, I see that his colleagues and friends loved and respected him very much. He stole some of the best scenes in The Sopranos. Rest in peace man 😪
Thank you to all the cast, I love you all. Sopranos is the only show I can watch over and over and over and over And over and over and over and over and over.. RIP Jimmy(Tony S) and Tony(Paulie W). Amen. ❤
Just finished watching the series now (Covid-19 quarantine marathon)as well, loved it as much as Breaking Bad, Avatar, and some Anime shows. Gonna miss the show a lot. Planned on watching this since I heard about Gandolfini's passing, but kept delaying it since I was preoccupied with a lot of stuff.
@@alldetected3106 Imagine being asked the same questions constantly for 20+ years. I think these people have to fake their way through a lot of these situations. None of us truly know what these actors/celebrities are really like in everyday life. Either way, Edie Falco is hands down one of the best actors I've ever seen.
I just finished watching the series for the very first time, yesterday. I am hugely sad it's over. This is without a doubt the best series I have seen in my 65 years.
Dominic choking up towards the end is a gut-punch. He really loved working with James, and this is a guy whose acted opposite Al Pacino, Lee Strasburg, and John Cazale.
Cast of incredible actors with equally capable writers. Watched all 84 episodes in one off season living in Aspen. Beautiful how they all talked about Jimmy❤
That’s fun to do, isn’t it? I watched it when it first aired but I’ve binged watched it an embarrassing amount of times since then. Love it more each time. Then when this came out, UGH, I laughed and cried like I was watching the show again but with a big hole missing. 😢
I couldn’t help shedding a tear when Dominic Chianese remembered James. “Don’t you love me?” Hit me like a ton of bricks when I remembered that line. Without The Sopranos there is simply no Breaking Bad. It’s my hope that young millennials get around to watch the show. The greatest Mob Drama of all time. RIP James Gandolfini.
Im a millennial and i binged watched it in October. Really good, still holds up. I forgot how old it was watching it and it’s almost shocking to watch this tbh. I can’t believe how old they’ve all gotten. Def gonna recommend to anyone who likes gangsta movies
Many great moments in that show, but that one might be the most powerful for me. Truly a special moment in tv history. The fact that Dominic recalls that scene as one of the most memorable experiences tells me that scene was the real deal!
James Gandolfini is a sad loss still. He had so much more to do. And imagine being Van Zandt, man. Bruce and Gandolfini as friends and peers. And Bracco and Falco have had amazing careers, creating intense and memorable roles. Rarified air they all breathe.
Big fan! I particularly liked Steven Van Zandt's band the Disciples Of Soul. This was right before I became a Springsteen fanatic. As stated, to be an E Street Band member, a radio show host, and star in the Sopranos? That's incredible!
Junior at the end talking on Tony as an actor and crying about the scene he says don't you love me, is amazing. Love and passion these guys have is what makes it great. Love this show so much and everyone on it
I know right? I was doing so good the whole time, but when Dominic started to break I immediately burst into tears. And god I remember that scene and it was a heartbreaker.
This was the most wholesome thing i’ve seen in a while. Considering the fact i’ve watched sopranos live and then rewatched when became older. The fact that they clearly weren’t comfortable at the start, but when the memories flooded in and some ice was broken, i saw a ragtag bunch of great people who enjoyed their work through thick and thin. James will forever be with us, but not like they knew him. Thanks for this, 4 years off from the original interview date - this made us all warm, fuzzy and nostalgic at heart! P.s. should’ve made 1hr30 it seems some cast didn’t get their spotlight
one of my favorite current hobbies is watching 4 to 7 minute clips of the sopranos on facebook .. to all of you who want a fast soprano fix i reccomend it .. this show changed my perspective on life ..its a masterpiece
The interviewer done a fantastic job here. He never spoke over the cast like alot do. He asked good questions and allowed great answers. Rip james gandolfini...legend
Yep, forcing poor Artie to open up the restaurant for them... that's what I liked about The Sopranos, everything had a cost to it, even the nicer moments
I’ve watched the whole series at least 10 times in the years since it ended. Just watched seasons 1 and 2 again because I just needed it, it’s like a drug you can’t stop watching it over and over.
Absolutely dude. Plus Tony Sirico was an actual associate to one of the NY five families in the 50’s / 60’s. He also served some time in jail for some his exploits. So no doubt he is playing a (perhaps younger) version of himself.
I don't care what nobody says, Uncle JR had the best jokes and one liner's ever.

Always had a humorous side to the terrible things he did lol

So does Aaron Paul, both still look young.
Looks like age is really catching up to Paulie, God bless him. Seems like a great guy and appears that he wasn't even acting. All time classic series
It looks to me like he might have had a stroke at some point and possibly even some signs of Parkinson's. I have seen him in interviews before this and his speech and movements did not seem as delayed.
Yeah, he lost so much in 1 year... probably some serious conditions(((
@@seamusin1697 he has dementia
@Axiom Steel The actor who plays Uncle Junior, Dominic Chianese, is 88. The actor who played Hesh, Jerry Adler, is 91. 78 isn't totally old by today's standards and you can still be in great shape. Paul McCartney is 78 and still rockin'. Tony Sirico is 78 and I believe it is Dementia as I have been around 3 grandparents that went through it.
Old age hits people differently, there's no point in making comparisons about other old actors from the show still being relatively healthy and quick witted.
Where's Adriana? I can still hear her yell "CHRISTAFFFAAAA" LOl
Cheek Busting 101 Omg yes!
She's in the witness protection program.
In the bathroom 💩
Bold Counsel Silvio killed her
6 feet deep under
I didn't even realize that Tony Sirico died in 2022. It's good that he got to live a full life, but it sucks to see another cast member die.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler mentioned she is now 37 years old. James Gandolfini was 37 when The Sopranos began filming.
man where does the time go
Greg i thought he was older than that
Wow
😱
Greg that’s insane
Dominick being brought to tears when recalling that iconic scene between uncle june and tony shows how much James is truly missed.
I remember seeing it the first time and having to rewind it simply because of how genuine it looked. It's nice to come and find out it was genuine in a way for Dominick.
What did he say to him that made him cry? I couldn’t understand it
@@ilpavone31 He asked Jr "Don't you love me" when asking about why he couldn't remember the good times but remembers the bad one.
My man AJ hasn't aged a single day since the final episode haha
Carmela looks amazing also' it's hard to choose a favorite character they we're all brilliant. Currently Binge watching Sopranos mid way through season 5
He's 35!! He looks 18 Wtf hahaha
Back in the early 2000s, my sister lived down the street from AJ. Apparently he was a big partier
@@HH-gv8mx He was arrested for ganging up on a dude and mugging him.
@@PapagenoMF oh wow, I never followed him or looked any of that up but I did hear that he did a lot of cocaine and was quite the partier and my sister and her friends thought he was gross.
It’s crazy how Loraine has so much report with the cast while never interacting with them in the show. She’s so lovely for how she appreciated having that time with “Jim”
Rapport
She was probably on some jobs with others before.
The interviewer is good.
But he never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
I think he was too nervous and tense.
Dont bring that up again!
Hahahahahaha that was hilarious. I enjoyed that one.
Lmao !!!!!
Overused.
"What do you remember about Gandolfini"
Chianese: All I know is he never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

Lmmfao!

Uncle June has been 80 for 20 yrs now. He looks great for his age. I thought he was an older man in the early 2000s.
He's still really sharp
I had no idea until recently he was Johnny ola in godfather 2
@@derrik-bosse yes he is!! I love to see ppl get to be healthy, happy, and enjoy their lives after working their whole life.
@@jlobiafra Yep and he was in his 30's when he played Ola. The guy is almost like Patrick Stewart in that he looked about late 40's from his early 30's well into his 60's.
Yes he looked old as Johnny Ola in GF2
Michael Imperioli is more intelligent than I would have ever thought.
He did an amazing job playing a stupid, immature drug addict
He always comes off as passionate about film and things like that in the same way as Chris, but also wonderfully intelligent and kind
Edie Falco is one of the most wonderful actors and walks in such humility. What a gift to the acting community and to The Sopranos.
She took her acting to another level season 5
Agree. She's a great actress
But can't remember any of her scenes with Jim G and knew nothing about him.
@@jimbanter was a bit sad to hear they wasn’t very close and even sadder that she has no idea when certain scenes were. However she’s an amazing actress and woman
@@edwardzingtonator but also think that’s what makes her a great actress. She just shows up to run her scenes but isn’t emotionally invested like we the viewers are. It’s actually really interesting to hear. She’s truly a artist
This work of art, The Sopranos, would never be the same without him, the best supporting character in tv series ever, Tony Sirico aka Paulie Walnuts (July 29, 1942 - July 8, 2022). He was a tough guy on TV screens as well as in real life, but he was certainly not an unjust, crooked and evil man in real life, moreover, I see that his colleagues and friends loved and respected him very much. He stole some of the best scenes in The Sopranos. Rest in peace man 😪
Very sad to hear but he will be gear in our hearts
rip
Wow I didn't even know he passed.. sad to see
He reminds me of Jackie the joke man Martling

Just finished watching it during quarantine, best show ever!!
Just finished watching the series now (Covid-19 quarantine marathon)as well, loved it as much as Breaking Bad, Avatar, and some Anime shows. Gonna miss the show a lot. Planned on watching this since I heard about Gandolfini's passing, but kept delaying it since I was preoccupied with a lot of stuff.

Same here. Finished it today!
@@AlejandroMartinez-cl4kk I don't know what else to watch right now, I'm still in a hangover from the Sopranos' universe.

Dominic is such a gent, when he talks about that scene with James you can tell he's a very genuine man
Edie Falco seems highly intelligent and articulate. Incredible actress.
A little too intelligent, plus she's a great actor... can never really know when she's being fake.
@@alldetected3106 Imagine being asked the same questions constantly for 20+ years. I think these people have to fake their way through a lot of these situations. None of us truly know what these actors/celebrities are really like in everyday life. Either way, Edie Falco is hands down one of the best actors I've ever seen.
A good friend of mine was her boyfriend for two years in NY. Apparently she’s incredibly disciplined and trained. Love Edie.
She's got some beautiful eyes.
Didn’t she recently stop drinking? She always seemed off to me! Yesssss, she did I looked it up.

39:48 - DC's "sushi" story was by far my favorite part. Also seeing him be emotional recalling Tony asking Junior "Don't you love me?" was powerful.
I always cry when he talks about that.
Dr. Melfi is outta control in this interview 😂

She is a fantastic and hot woman... ❤️🔥
Divorced 3x
Shes a good time. Met her when she was in her 40s, I was in my 20s. Nuff said lol
Right!! This personality is 10X her on screen persona!
It is so funny Steven didn't consider himself an actor yet he nailed his part so well. Silvio was a great character!
You don't have to be an actor to be a character, and he nailed that character.
I never knew that was his real wife.
“Last year I made bail so fast my soup was still warm when I got home.” - Silvio Dante
People call them actors, i call them schizophrenic. Split personality. Mental disorder by playing someone other than yourself
I feel like the Silvio Dante characater is just Stevie after the E Street Band, minus the bandanas. Lol. He was a great character on the show.
Dominic choking up towards the end is a gut-punch. He really loved working with James, and this is a guy whose acted opposite Al Pacino, Lee Strasburg, and John Cazale.
I wish I knew which scene he was trying to describe. I'd go back & watch it right now.
I missed many episodes back when it was airing.
Awe..he's beautiful..bless him.

Cast of incredible actors with equally capable writers. Watched all 84 episodes in one off season living in Aspen. Beautiful how they all talked about Jimmy❤
86 you mean?
That’s fun to do, isn’t it? I watched it when it first aired but I’ve binged watched it an embarrassing amount of times since then. Love it more each time. Then when this came out, UGH, I laughed and cried like I was watching the show again but with a big hole missing. 😢
He was in interior decorator he killed 16 Czechoslovakians

I miss James Gondolfini.
He was so good in the Sopranos ...:*/
I miss gandalfini
He was an incredible actor and humanitarian. I miss him every time I watch the Sopranos.
Yeah, Jomes Gondolfoni was a great actor.
We all do. 😢😭
I couldn’t help shedding a tear when Dominic Chianese remembered James. “Don’t you love me?” Hit me like a ton of bricks when I remembered that line. Without The Sopranos there is simply no Breaking Bad. It’s my hope that young millennials get around to watch the show. The greatest Mob Drama of all time. RIP James Gandolfini.
We won't see this quality of show again..genius has walked amongst us.RIP JIMMY GANDOLFINI 🙏🙏💙💙
Im a millennial and i binged watched it in October. Really good, still holds up. I forgot how old it was watching it and it’s almost shocking to watch this tbh. I can’t believe how old they’ve all gotten. Def gonna recommend to anyone who likes gangsta movies
Theres alot of shows who stole this format of storytelling it was the first of its kind and never be duplicated love the sopranos
Many great moments in that show, but that one might be the most powerful for me. Truly a special moment in tv history. The fact that Dominic recalls that scene as one of the most memorable experiences tells me that scene was the real deal!
There's a coyote
People don’t even realize all the things James gandolfini did to keep the sopranos going may his soul rest in peace definitely one of the greatest!
Moderator: so no one really knows how it ends?
Paulie: I killed the cat

James Gandolfini is a sad loss still. He had so much more to do. And imagine being Van Zandt, man. Bruce and Gandolfini as friends and peers. And Bracco and Falco have had amazing careers, creating intense and memorable roles. Rarified air they all breathe.
Big fan! I particularly liked Steven Van Zandt's band the Disciples Of Soul. This was right before I became a Springsteen fanatic. As stated, to be an E Street Band member, a radio show host, and star in the Sopranos? That's incredible!
It’s so hard watching the cast together without James there. It’s very bitter sweet.
If you look up the live version of cover me by Bruce Springsteen Steve van zandt is playing lead
Seeing Dominic cry recalling that scene...such heart...best show ever
Whats the time stamp?
@@obamabinbaben7772 39:39 :,(
Just finished this show tonight and it was awesome massive respect and thanks for the actors who made this masterpiece.
R.I.P. Tony Sirico. One of a kind, forever in our hearts. Say "Hi" to Gandolfini from us, we will miss both of you greatly.
20 years later and Eddie Falco looks exactly the same! Ageless
Beautiful lady
Eddie...🤦♂️ Edie
Yeah that’s because she looked 30 years older 20 years ago.
Her confused face is identical to Carmella's it's hysterical. Wide eyes with an awkward smile 😂
Has to be plastic surgery.
Junior at the end talking on Tony as an actor and crying about the scene he says don't you love me, is amazing. Love and passion these guys have is what makes it great. Love this show so much and everyone on it
Right, I literally cried
I had to grab a tissue 🤧 😪 😫
I know right? I was doing so good the whole time, but when Dominic started to break I immediately burst into tears. And god I remember that scene and it was a heartbreaker.
There is a documentary about James wherein Dominic speaks a poem about him and its incredible. Very touching.
This was the most wholesome thing i’ve seen in a while. Considering the fact i’ve watched sopranos live and then rewatched when became older. The fact that they clearly weren’t comfortable at the start, but when the memories flooded in and some ice was broken, i saw a ragtag bunch of great people who enjoyed their work through thick and thin. James will forever be with us, but not like they knew him. Thanks for this, 4 years off from the original interview date - this made us all warm, fuzzy and nostalgic at heart!
P.s. should’ve made 1hr30 it seems some cast didn’t get their spotlight
Agreed!
His death probably made it harder for them to contact each other.
It’s crazy how connected we feel to people that we don’t know. Everyone’s role in the Sopranos was just perfect. Truly the best TV show ever.
Best of all time !!
Sopranos and breaking bad, best shows ever
The thing is that these actors seem honest and egoless. That goes a long way to feeling a connection to them. That probably made the show better.
@Austin King breaking bad isn't close. It's only good the first time you watch it, it's all built on suspense
@@DallasMavs81 The Leftovers is the best show ever in MY opinion

Absolutely dude. Plus Tony Sirico was an actual associate to one of the NY five families in the 50’s / 60’s. He also served some time in jail for some his exploits. So no doubt he is playing a (perhaps younger) version of himself.
