Is that Silvio?
Im not sure but good thats guess. He's got the suit lol
Is that Silvio?
If that's Carm in the back, then this is the scene when Tony made an impression on her (as described in S6).
It’s also cool that you’re in The Many Saints of Newark. Would you say that The Sopranos prequel film answers or asks any new questions about the series?
ODOM: Well, so much of that series was about his time on the couch with the doc, and about going back and trying to get a handle on the people and the events that shape you and the things that made you who you are, so that Tony could be better – a better husband, a better father, a better mob boss, a better waste management manager. This just adds another delicious layer to that storytelling. Now, we go back and we meet young Tony, in this pivotal summer in his life. We get to meet his mom and his dad, 20 or 25 years before we meet any of them, in the series. We get to meet his young cohorts. For people that were fans of David Chase’s storytelling in the series, it’s a really interesting and delicious layer to the story to go to the foundation level and look at it from there.
What was it like to be a part of a film like The Many Saints of Newark? Is it very daunting to tell a story that includes such a well-known and loved character like Tony Soprano, even if it’s a different part of his life than we’ve seen before?
MAGARO: Yeah. It’s crazy. I would imagine the people who went to the new Star Wars, or anything with such loyal fans who are almost religious about it, there’s this huge pressure and I know every single one of us in that movie was feeling it as we were making it, and we’re still concerned about it, as it’s sitting there waiting to come out. I’ve only heard good things from David [Chase], and from the people at Warner Bros. and New Line, so I hope they’re right, but of course, it’s scary. We live in this world now, where people are looking for anything to criticize, so I’m sure we’re gonna get some of that backlash. But if people can put that to the side and go on this new journey with us, I think it’s gonna be really rewarding. You have Michael Gandolfini, Jim’s son, playing Tony, and what I saw was just an absolutely brilliant performance from him. I can’t imagine the challenge of having to step into your late father’s shoes, and he did it with such grace and such courage that I was blown away. I’m excited to share it with people. It’s a very unique thing. I think it still has a lot of the humor and fun of what The Sopranos was. I’m a crazy Sopranos fan. Every Sunday night, I would watch it, when I was growing up. I get where the people who are worried are coming from, but I think it’s gonna be really great.
Have they given you any idea about when we might see some footage, like in a trailer?
MAGARO: I don’t know. With what’s happening right now, everything’s so crazy. They say [it will be out in] March, but with things getting worse and so many people, at times, not taking this thing seriously, I hope things start to get better, sooner rather than later. If things start to get better with COVID, maybe we’ll be lucky enough to see something, in the early new year, but I really don’t know.
Without giving anything away, what can you say about your character and how he fits into the story?
MAGARO: It’s so funny, I’m not allowed to really say who I am, but I think it’s very clear and it’s out there in the world, so I think everyone has figured it out who’s paying attention. He’s somebody who’s very much in Tony’s life. You get to see his connection to both the worlds of Johnny Soprano and Dickie Moltisanti, and how he bridges the gap with Tony, who ends up taking the reins in the series. That’s where he functions in this world. I gotta leave it at that.
