    Great guy, humble and classy. My brother said hello to him in a NY restaurant, then sat down to have dinner with his girl. A few moments later, Mr. Curatola sent over drinks for their meal. Later, he waved goodbye to my brother as he left the restaurant. They had never met before. Salute!

    Mr Curatola was in New Orleans and I was working at this Hotel in the French Quarters. I recognized him and he winked and asked if I could let him know where the newspapers were so I had someone bring it to him. Later on that day the Bellman let me know he left me $20. He’s such a class act and a real gentleman. Salute

    I will say- Johnny Sacs had the most fitting death on the entire show. It was just so perfect that he died from lung cancer considering he was always chain smoking cigarettes and as he mentioned that Johnny Sac was never rushed by anyone, neither is cancer... the disease slowly took time to develop and then it explodes and gives you a feeling that something bad could happen at any moment. It almost mirrors his personality in a way. Just very befitting for the methodical character that he was.

    Of course there were many many great actors in The Sopranos. But with mister Curatola, "Johnny Sack", my heart started pumping faster each time HE appeared. His eyes.. dear Lord, these silences..uff.. there's a WAR going on behind these eyes, yet he smiles...and then his love for his wife, anything any woman can only dream of..Mister Curatola, my hat's off to you!

    What a pleasure to spend 2 hours with such an amazing actor and listen to the man behind the character. There's a reason why the Suprano's is now revered as a high point in TV drama and Vincent Curatola had a major contribution to this success. The casting in the Suprano's was part of the genius of the series and the writers made the story magic.

    Pete brings up a good point. My Italian Dad never shook my hand, hugged me or said he loved me. Not his fault; that's the way HE was raised and so-on down the family tree... a family trait I guess. But we had a mutual knowing of great love and respect for each other. I knew my Dad loved his children dearly. He showed it constantly. His family was his world . And he knew we loved him greatly. I remember when I left home for the first time for college out of state, he waved goodbye and didn't say anything as he was about ready to cry because he didn't know any other way. But I already knew how proud he was and how much he loved me. So, some of us were raised to not verbally express ourselves in difficult emotional situations. When my dad was dying, it was impossible to hold myself together and find the words to say goodbye and say how much I loved him and how he meant the world to me, regrettably so. But I know he knew anyway. Miss him so much. Great interviews Pete. I saw a half dozen in the last couple of days. Good stuff. Thank you.

    Some of the best scenes in The Sopranos are with James and Vinnie. There are intense scenes where there is a battle of the titans where Vinnie holds his own against one of the best actors of his generation, James Gandalfini. Sure Johnny Sacrimoni was a great part on a great show but Vinnie nailed it. You can't imagine anyone else in the role. I remember that scene where Johnny, in prison, has his brother in law tell him the value of his property and that his car will be sold to Chris Moltisanti. The look on his face, real pissed and disappointed, disgusted at the same time. It was so well played. Vinnie also had some great scenes with the late great Sydney Pollack. This just showed how well he played against other great actors.

  • @jameshoran8
    @jameshoran8 4 года назад +58

    Played the only character Tony Soprano respected. Was in the last scenes with Sydney Pollack who played an inmate doctor in the Sopranos. Ironic was in the scenes, Vincent's character was dying when it was actually Pollack who was terminally ill.

    • @LandscapingAdvantage

      I think Tony respected him so much because John would always stick to his principles where Tony would fall short, and he recognized that. Admired it.

    • @blaineedwards8078

      @@LandscapingAdvantageThe only reason Tony acquiesced to John was out of fear....knowing that the Lupertazzi Family could easily overwhelm what Carmine Sr. referred to, in the context of the Jersey mob, as a "glorified crew." The Lupertazzi clan had easily 3 to 4 times the soldiers and strong-arm muscle. No way in Hell that Tony Soprano could take them on and he knew it.
