Michael Gandolfini says playing late father's character Tony Soprano was ‘toughest decision ever’
Fox News
The actor plays a younger version of his dad's iconic "Sopranos" character in the upcoming prequel "Many Saints of Newark."
In fact, it was "probably the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make," the 22-year-old actor revealed in a new interview about the unique opportunity. "I didn’t want to put pressure on myself to walk out of this feeling like I’d grown in terms of my feelings toward my dad," Michael told Empire of the "Many Saints," which follows the future Sopranos patriarch as he gets sucked into the mafia life on the race riot-ravaged streets of 1960s Newark. "I just wanted to be the best actor I could be, portraying Tony in the way David [Chase] wanted, scene by scene."More Related News
