Well, neat. I didn't even know he was an actor, but apparently he's on a show called The Deuce.

The Sopranos creator David Chase has found his Tony Soprano. Michael Gandolfini has been set to play the future New Jersey organized crime family boss in The Many Saints of Newark, the feature prequel to Chase’s groundbreaking TV series The Sopranos that Alan Taylor is directing for New Line.

He’s an amazing douche on The Deuce.

I mean I guess it’s going to be a REALLY young Tony. Isn’t he like 18?

Holy cow, talk about lucking out on a casting. He's going to be perfect.

Tony's character will be a teenager in the upcoming prequel, he is the perfect age.

This.

Has really great potential to be solid.

After seeing him in interviews and on HBO, he may have an A.J. vibe to him as young Tony.

Vera Farmiga as a younger Livia Soprano (Tony’s Mom)??

Judging from the list in your link of those signed on at this point & her resemblance to a degree given the age difference of course, it seems like a solid guess, imo.

This will work or it will flame out. No halfway.

People making the show have to know that and hopefully wouldn’t green light the casting just for the novelty.

I’m optimistic.

As to a comment below, if they make him AJ junior, other than the panic attack/fainting, that won’t work. Tony was never AJ turned Tony.

The second version of young Anthony kind of had an AJ vibe, so that would be appropriate.

Hopefully we'll get to see Johnny Boy wrecking shop.

Is the Punisher playing Tony's dad?

There's a strong possibility whoever they cast to be Livia Soprano is going to make me shite myself a tiny bit
