True. Actors act because its an art and an art they love, the would do it free and not take a dime if they could support themselves like that (like politicians, and, no insult to actors)... actors constantly crave a challenge... Watching Gandolfini on the "Actors Studio" on Bravo is very interesting if you can ever catch the rerun.

Just thought of another question, when tony goes to hook up with the realtor, he bails, not sure if its the obvious (sexual dysfunction, premature release) or someting more subtle like, he is growing up or thinking "what am i trying to prove" or the fact that he is actually thinking of his family/wife? am i reading to deep into this? He clearly needed to know he is still man enough to make love, so we first see him in bed with his wife, then he wants to know he can still handle the younger women, so why didn't he do it, if for nothing else to go brag to chris & silvio "hey you know that realtor, i did her last nite"... did i miss something?
