While talking to Vanity Fair, Michael Gandolfini described his tackle Soprano. He mentioned, “The Tony Soprano we know has this beautiful vulnerability underneath and this rough exterior, but what if we flip that on its side and you watch a creative, hopeful, kind, curious kid get whittled down and formed into what he has to be?”

He added that his father had by no means let him see the present as a result of “the violence, the angry, the mean.”
“Of course I was on set and would visit him in his trailer, but I had never watched the show…I never knew Tony Soprano. I only knew my dad,” he mentioned.

The Many Saints of Newark is slated to be launched on September 24, 2021.
