Former Sopranos Actor Devastated with Show Creator

BuddyKris · 03-28-2007, 02:00 AM

Joe Pantoliano, former cast member on the HBO’s long-running mafia series The Sopranos, is disappointed with the show’s creator, David Chase. In fact, he lashes out his devastation with a letter addressed to the series inventor.

The said letter expressed his grief over his absence and non-inclusion to The Sopranos’ photo shoot in the April issue of Vanity Fair. He also rants about Chase using a prop body double as a substitute for his character, Ralph Cifaretto, on The Sopranos. He claims that the shoot was “in poor taste, despicable, wrong and diabolical”. He also adds that the “methods used to create the image were without his input or permission.”

I agree with Mr. Pantoliano. He's a beloved actor from way back "Guido the Killer Pimp"! I want to vent and say that I just finished seeing the final espisode and it was going beautifully unti the very end. After all of the these frigin' years that what we get?!?! I HATED the end. Tony can't die. That's why we watch it. I tried to vent to HBO just now and you can't even get on the contact page. I'm sure I'm not the only fan super pissed. I can't believe it. I actually shaking about this. I sure hope Chase pulls his head and a bonus episode out of his lame ass.
