    I have three favorite lines: 1) "Hasidim but I don't believe him" ---Paulie (Back in the first season prior to the crew getting involved in the motel business 2) "You're looking at them asshole" ---Tony Soprano to the Jewish Hasid in response to his question about "Where are they (The Romans) now?" And Christopher's line to that Rapper in the restaurant: "I know what time it is" (A line I use frequently myself, but I confess I stole it from The Sopranos) That was the episode where the Rapper wanted to go after Hesh for money he pocketed unethically or illegally for an old song.

Michael should be proud that he crafted such an iconic character, very few actors embody a character like he did.

So yeah he played with them but that’s about it. But was a great actor on a great show. Never really stood out to me in any movies, I think last 2 I saw with him were Enough Said and Killing Them Softly. And the ladder stood out because of Pitt and Ray Liotta.

A couple of days before the audition, Mrs. Coppola (Francis' mother) left a voicemail on my answering machine to help me with the audition. I thought it was a friend pulling a prank. I called her back and she mistakened me for an operatic singer at UCLA. After she realized her mistake, I wouldn't let her off the phone until I picked her brain for any tips to audition successfully. She told me "My son doesn't let me get involved with any of his casting". LOL!
