Okay, Sopranos superfans... for the life of me I can't name a few of the characters in this photo off the top of my head, and can't think of a better way to figure them out....

Top Row: Bobby, Burt Gervasi (right?), then who's between Hesh & Patsy? And who are the two to the right of Tony?

[Linked Image]

I want to bring this photo to SopranosCon to get signed -- Paulie, Burt, Hesh, and Patsy will be there -- but not sure of the other guys I mentioned (I already got Vito in Chicago in 2004 in multiple photos, luckily, cuz he won't be there -- apparently there was some to-do with some other cast members. Anyone know anything about that??)

https://www.sopranoscon.com/ shows the attending cast... can't wait! Will post more in that thread -- just want to ID these guys to see if they're going...

Thanks!

I meant to also say, the past 7 weeks I've been rewatching each season (one per week) before the Con -- and it occurred to me that I had only seen the last season (6B) ONCE, live! I'm watching it now, and after 12 YEARS, I barely even remember it (besides the ending, of course)!

When the show was airing, for the first 4-5 seasons, I'd rewatch the entire series leading up to each new season, and around Season 5 I didn't have to start at the beginning any more, but would still watch from then forward. Which means I've only seen Season 6B when it originally aired, and 6A only one more time than that! It's kinda cool, cuz it's like watching it (Season 6) almost for the first time again lol

Top row, Bobby, Raymond, Hesh, Carlo, Tony, Larry, Gene.
Middle Patsy,
Sitting Vito, Paulie, Sil.

A friend of mine has a different picture signed by James Gandolfini, Joe Grannascoli, Joe Pantoliano, Dan Grimaldi, and Castelluccio who's first name escapes me. How he got Grimaldi and Pantoliano autographs are good stories.

Thanks, GV! Raymond looked so much like the photo of actor Artie Pasquale (Burt) on the Con site, I could've sworn it was him. But you're right. Okay, cool -- so I can get Hesh, Patsy (already have on a baseball), Larry Boy, Eugene, and Paulie (already have on the same baseball) to add to Vito's... sweet.

Very nice! In Chicago we also met John Fiori (Gigi) and I have a dual-signed pic with him on the toilet with Vito, and also him with and signed by Gandofini (purchased from Gigi so it better be real! lol It was 2004 so it probably wasn't worth nearly as much then)

I never realised how small the actor who plays Patsy Parisi is. He's tiny.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Is Goerge Lores still alive? I know he is up there in years. Geoff, a former co-worker of mine who's dad is friends with Arthur Nascarella who plays Carlo Gervasi, actually got that same picture signed by everyone in that picture. They go way back to the time they both served in the Marines together.

George Loros is still alive at 75.

A few years ago I was flipping channels and a commercial for a local Italian spot with "Patsy" and "Albie" was on. Very random for a small place in the midwest. Albie was the consigliere for Phil over in NY, btw. The restaurant is no longer in business.

Back in 02' or 03', Joe Pantoliano was eating at diner with Martin Lawrence it was late and there was a couple of other people there who were working on the movie Bad Boys 2. My friend who was in Delray Beach at the time on vacation was ordering with his wife, when he noticed Pantoliano coming from the bathroom. Wasn't quite sure if it was him or not, so he took a double take. He waited for his chance to talk to him and got when Pantoliano came from the booth to the counter. They start talking and Joe said they were filming a movie with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. He asked for an autograph and Pantoliano grabbed a napkin and pen, my friend stopped him and said he had a Sopranos picture with Gandolfini and Castelluccio signatures on it already, and would Pantoliano sign it. Joe said he would, so my friend leaves to get from the truck of his car, comes back and Pantoliano signs it. As he signs it, Martin Lawrence walks up with another person and asks if my friend would like an autograph from him as well. My friend declined and says thank you. Martin Lawrence has a look on his face like "Are you fucking kidding me". His wife asked for Martin Lawrence autograph and got it.

2007 New York City. My friend was visiting his daughter going to Kingsborough college and was meeting her there so they could spend sometime together. He parked his car off grounds and started walking through the grounds he spotted someone who looked like Patsy. He approached him, and found out it was Dan Grimaldi and he was a faculty member. He asked if Grimaldi would would sign a picture. Grimaldi said no problem as he was off school property and had not started his shift, and so nice about it, that that was the best autograph he ever received. His daughter did not take any of Grimaldi classes.

Great stories, GV! Funny the part about Martin Lawrence lol

Joey Pants was on my wishlist to show up this weekend (among others), and it sucks he's not scheduled... ohwell
