If they ever make a movie that is about the family secrets case, they should definately have James Gandolfini play Frank Calabrese Sr.

Your thoughts?

There has never been a big time Gangster movie with Gandolfini starring in it. There are so many possibilities if Gandolfini was available to play a mobster in a big budget film.

I'm talking a lead role, not some little supporting part.

There is only one man that would portray Frank Calabrese and do his character Justice. I hope James Gandolfini takes this roll. This would be one of the best movies in a long time if he starred in it. IF you look at the way he played Tony Soprano, its like a carbon copy of Frank Calabrese. They even look alike! Same build, same balding hair. Same personality. James Gandolfini could pull it off perfectly.

Do you talk to him directly on a day to day basis? What I am saying is the guy would fit the role perfectly. Who the fuck else looks as close to this in Hollywood?



This is what Frank would look like in a movie.......



Yes or no? If you say no, you are blind. It is too perfect!

He does i'm not denying that but to me at least he shouldn't be playing mobsters anymore seeing him play one for six seasons is too much for me . No i don't talk to him on a day to day basis but he's said himself he wont be playing mobsters anymore .

There is not another big time actor in Hollywood that looks like Frank Calabrese the way that James Gandolfini does. No one is gonna do the character justice as much as James would. As we both know Hollywood loves to glamourize mobsters. James would do that perfectly for Frank Calabrese Sr.

That's hollywood for you. Pesci looked nothing like DeSimone and that was a great portrayal . Ray Lliotta is gonna play DeMeo and he looks nothing like him.

I disagree. I think Pesci resembled DeSimone in many ways.

In Casino we both know he played Tony Spilotro perfectly.

In what way did Pesci resemble DeSimeone? Have you ever seen the real Tommy?

Yes I have. Take away the mustache and it could be Pesci. DeSimone even had a high voice in real life.

lool look at the lips in the picture. They have the same mouth. Look at the nose. They have the same nose. Facial features they have simliarities I think. Its all in the eye of the beholder as we both know.

Fair enough we both have our own opinions but i think you're stretching it to see what you want to see because you enjoyed Pesci in this role.
