David Chase's critically acclaimed drama, The Sopranos, is universally recognized as one of the greatest shows of all time. Even decades after its controversial finale, The Sopranos reigns as a superior series and continues to recruit dozens of new fans around the world today. It features some of the most memorable performances and iconic moments in television history, many of which were widely recognized and even earned several accolades, including Emmys and Golden Globes.
In The Godfather Part III, a young Maldone plays one of Joey Zasa's bodyguards, but unfortunately, he doesn't receive credit for the role. According to The New York Post, Maldone earned his role on The Sopranos after he bypassed security during filming and boldly approached James Gandolfini, saying, "Someday, I'm going to play on this show."
Antuofermo's appearance in The Sopranos is small, but some may recognize him from The Godfather Part III as Joey Zasa's enforcer, Anthony "The Ant" Squigilaro. Antuofermo and his family moved from Italy to the United States when he was 17 years old and established himself as a World Middleweight Boxing Champion. When his career slowed down in the 1980s, he started studying acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute.
In season 4, episode 4, "The Weight," actor Richard Bright plays a gangster and long-time member of Galina's crew, Frank Crisci. Casting Bright as the imaginative Crisci was more than fitting for the actor, who is best known for his role as Michael Corelone's bodyguard, Al Neri, and appears in all three of The Godfather movies.
