@sfairraid 13 That's the excuse for every actor you don't see much anymore. "They just do indie things, they have enough money." I think it's because he's weird looking and typecast.
YES! Finally, The Sopranos episode 'Long Term Parking' gets a mention. My all time favourite episode and far better than 'Pine Barrens' which everyone seems to like the most. 'Pine Barrens' is a great episode but 'Long Term Parking' took the show in a whole new direction and won the season 5 Emmy for best writing in a drama series. Omitted footage from the episode was put back in to the season 6 episode 'The Ride' to explain how Christopher told Tony about Adriana's betrayal.
I remember Imperioli being in a lot of different movies playing some guy who was part of the movie and had enough lines that I remembered him. He worked very hard to get to where he got to. Yes, he was in a number of other movies before he got Goodfellas and then played in many more smaller roles in other features until he got the Sopranos. SO in a way he was this hidden gem among movies, but he made it and his work is memorable1
whoops. I got it wrong. I was thinking of the movie "Rob the Mob" which has the kid from Boardwalk Empire and Hedwig the Angry Inch (Michael Pitt) in it and the gal from Goliath, Nina Arianda. Same subject matter as The Wannabee.
Really? Because I guess that I wanted to watch it and hope that the movie had gritty dialogue like the Sopranios-ish type of feature.But if you say so it most likely is because you're here because of the Sopranos and Goodfella movies that I like too and most of the cast didn't do very after the Sopranos. their careers should have taken off with better script writing by other projects. But I believe you for some reason because I was following each of the actors and their new projects and they weren't very good. Now I mean the projects weren't very good not the actors. The actors are great and it was the best damn show out there, meaning the Sopranos. I guess nothing else at this time will hold a candle next to that show. And now there isn't very much for these actors because the shows today are silly and goofy without much depth.

Some actors I feel your right need bigger roles but they fall into that indy or genre like frank vincent another he's done big characters but he mostly did low budget films which he sells way better
Check out “LEAN ON ME” from like I think 85 or 86. Michaels got a small bit part as a little kid student with a “rat tail” hair doo. Tiny. He was just so young and small. Love this guy.
Not forgetting The Basketball Diaries, Who Shot Andy Warhol etc. This guy is a brilliant actor, and a very humble man. His hero is John Cassavetes, my hero is John Cassavetes. Enough said.
As BRILLIANT and ESSENTIAL as Michael Imperioli was as AN ACTOR on 'The Sopranos', he ALSO WROTE entire EPISODES from as early as Season 2... ('From Where To Eternity', 'The Telltale Moozadell' (3), 'Christopher' (4), 'Everybody Hurts' (4), and 'Marco Polo' (5). ) A modest and almost unassuming man in person, his talents as an actor/writer are STUNNING... xx SF
He is a very smart dude! He is doing a recent pod cast as a host with the guy who played Bobby. B. They are going through every Sopranos episode now from the start and it's fun to watch and listen to.
I read once from an accomplished journalist you get way more out of these guys if you ask them about their new work first. Let them discus what they are interested in first, and they are much more open later on.
he's just three years younger than me and looks waaaaay better than me. There was no way in early 2000s I coulda played a 20-something gangster like he did.
Morning Mike, Rich, Speaking About The Last Show Sapranos, Alot Of The Actors That Did 50, 60, Shows, Some More, Speaking On David Chase Talking About Situations A Year Or So Earlier !!!!, Michael Was In A Situation Season 2 Going Into Season 3, Mike Had Got Shot & In The Hospital & In A Dream He Told Tony & Paulie He Was In Hell & His Dad Wanted Him To Tell Them 3 OClock !!!, As Chase Had Said He Was Thinking About Tony Going To New York Threw The Tunnel & Fadding To Black !!!! So He Sorta Gave A Hint, !!!!!.... Where Tony Was Sitting In The Dinner 3 OClock Would Be The Bathroom & As We Know, Fade To Black !!!!
Look out that fucking window. Ya see a hollywood sign? Maybe you talk to your agent like that. But dont you ever get fucking snippy wit me like that again
I'm sorry Eisen, it's pointless to comment on somebody that is more successful than the guy commenting, but dude you are spilling over and around with everything. Kinda ruined the interview... I'm done up to 9-th minute, I hope it get's better. BTW, it seems that Imperioli is nervous and annoyed at the beginning.... Let the guy talk, I make these mistakes in my life often too.
gandolfini should not have let himself be typecast in all those movies. he played too many armbreakers. the hand that rocks the cradle also kills the wolf. too many rolls beating up women.
Why do I feel like this guy is just stuck in one same character? He has been the same- good fellas, Sopranos and now this interview. Like he stuck being a boy? He almost James Gandolfini age now I think.
let's face it nobody wants to come out and say it but it was probably the worst way to end the series... in fact the last episode was terrible.. why kill off all the characters and leave no chance for a follow up to such a loved successful story
I'm sorry T.
I won't pass the drug test
lol, "sorry I'm l'm late T"
Is this about the Easter baskets?
I did-denttt
God, i heard christopha's voice while i read this comment
Kid had a heavy foot, almost put me through a billboard one time.
I know Im pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new series online ?
Christofahh!!
Favourite character from sopranos
Me too
Him and Paulie together is pure gold
Good actor James gandolfini the best
Hell yeah...Chrissy was the only character I could truly relate to. Brilliant actor.
His intervention was the best.
Just finished the sopranos series, now i already missed it, it already become part of my life
I did it yesterday. 10 days Sopranos. The end was like lose good friend. He died. If not there would been season 7.
What a writer s skill s.
Awesome human being right there
There's no chemical solution for a spiritual problem - Christafuhh
Michael is such a talented actor. Why he's not in more movies just baffles me
Strong Rock I think he more into writing these days. The perfume burned his eyes is a book he has out now
Don't think he wants to. He's probably comfortable in terms of money so he just chills
@Junior Mudd He is. Lives 1/2yr in Santa Barbara.. 1/2yr in metro NY.

@@xingabus5581 nah.
Michael is such a hard working actor, writer and director.
He's got way more strings to his bow than just acting.

I didn't know. Thanks for informing me
He liked Kundun
I saw that movie... i thought it was bullshit.
it's the female lawyer from the Billy Bob show, I think. Goliath. She plays the bottom feeder lawyer who brings the case to Billy Bob.
whoops. I got it wrong. I was thinking of the movie "Rob the Mob" which has the kid from Boardwalk Empire and Hedwig the Angry Inch (Michael Pitt) in it and the gal from Goliath, Nina Arianda. Same subject matter as The Wannabee.

No one's getting your reference. I got it.
He looks like he is so sick of being asked about Goodfellas and The Sopranos
Considering the commitment he gave to doing the Talking Sopranos podcast I'd say this comment was a little off.
Chris-ta-fah never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
You ever thought of being original or just keep spitting out someone else's creativity?
"If you love me then stir my eggs"
Wonderful interview!
When I come in to open up early one morning, dare you were wit ya head half in the toilet. Ya hair was in the toilet watta. Disgusting.
name I’ve said my piece, Chrissy
In his defense he was sick. Ok were getting off-track
Michael is such a great actor and interesting to listen to.
chrissy!!
Michael should be a beard advocate. Don’t fear the beard. Once you are past the itchy stage and you can keep it together it is smooth sailing.
Very handsome man
Michael is experienced in all aspects of tv and film production. He's a writer, director, actor and prob lots more I don't know about.
Why didn't he ever get more big roles? He was a fucking amazing actor.
Some actors I feel your right need bigger roles but they fall into that indy or genre like frank vincent another he's done big characters but he mostly did low budget films which he sells way better
Check out “LEAN ON ME” from like I think 85 or 86. Michaels got a small bit part as a little kid student with a “rat tail” hair doo. Tiny. He was just so young and small. Love this guy.
He was a Spike Lee regular for awhile; he was in Jungle Fever (as Frank Vincent's son), Malcolm X and co-wrote Summer of Sam.
Michael, did you eat the last cannoli? I didaan't!
"No you ain't ok Spider!"
Great ❤
Cool cat great actor
He was Bobby in one of my fave films, Basketball Diaries 😀👍🏼
I love you Michael!
Never would've thought to Google his age until after I saw this. Wow, he fooled me.
Not forgetting The Basketball Diaries, Who Shot Andy Warhol etc. This guy is a brilliant actor, and a very humble man. His hero is John Cassavetes, my hero is John Cassavetes. Enough said.

"We are dead, Adriana"!!!! 🎉
More Mad Dogs please
Such a complete thinker.
His nose is natural canopy
LEGEND! 🙌🏼
“Oh My Gawd! Christafah!
You were High You Fuckin’ Junkie!”
"Forget mafia screenplays. You think I haven't had offers. We got work to do" Rest in peace James.
He played a cadet in MAJOR PAYNE...You need to see it LOL
13:58 if you only wanted to hear him talk about "the wannabe"
When is the wannabe coming out
It's a terrible movie
Watch it Chrissy!!
His hairline is insane.
I wonder what’s French Canadian for Christopher Moltisanti
DIDDENT!
I’ve been completely ostrified.
He got the part because T made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
Michael👍🏼
Lover's quarrel, maybe.
I do like Michael.
CHRISTOPHAH!
Even in the final episode of the series, I thought that the Russian from "Pine Barrens" could show up.
His face looks the same
he's just three years younger than me and looks waaaaay better than me. There was no way in early 2000s I coulda played a 20-something gangster like he did.

Mickey Mantle.....a real ballplayer
the analytics on this video XD
Wow. He's old(er) ...
He's only five years younger than Gandolfini.
Let's talk about the Wannabe - click to another video
He he he classic joke by this squid, they thought my cable went out!!!! 🤪🤓
sam elliott is great
Why is this interviewer guy elevated a few feet above his guest? Must have massive insecurity issues.
Tea 🍵😂
Damn, that really is his actual nose, no prosthetic lol
Natural canopy

Christopher Multi something
Great actor playing negative Italian-American stereotypes.
ummm...not 30 seconds later lol
Now now Rich, why do you have that man on short couch man. Thats not cool.
Tony was fine at the end that is obvious
gandolfini should not have let himself be typecast in all those movies. he played too many armbreakers. the hand that rocks the cradle also kills the wolf. too many rolls beating up women.
Crissy, wearing Vans and a T-shirt with a suit? What is this, Miami Vice? Don Johnson called and wants his wardrobe back. Be a classy dresser.
It’s comfortable
He has gotten old in his time
Why do I feel like this guy is just stuck in one same character? He has been the same- good fellas, Sopranos and now this interview. Like he stuck being a boy? He almost James Gandolfini age now I think.
He’s a mediocre actor no 🧢
