Actor for AJ hasn’t aged a bit.

Meadow

Actor who played Paulie seems to have a stroke or other problem.

Tony Sirico (Walnuts) was old when the show started. He's probably damn near 80 now so give him a break. Plus he's the best Character in the show besides Tony.

I'm surprised some of those people are still alive.

Sirico was rough and Lorraine Bracco's voice has gotten into the shutup bitch territory

Good interview. Got a laugh out of the part where Imperioli said him and Gandolfini drank a bottle of wild turkey before the tossing Ralph into the water scene. And had to be tied to the trees for fear they might fall off the cliff.

Meadow is still hot.

Well ... a lot of questions answered about the finale, right?

Silvio talking about Tony's mother with David ... hillarious.

Meadow is too skinny but she is going to be classy looking the older she gets as she adds a few pounds.

Paulie Walnuts may be suffering from some Alzheimer's or something.

James Gandolfino must have been a helluva dude.

Lorraine Bracco used to be such a smoke show ... imagine though, for a moment, getting present day Lorraine Bracco together with Ray Liotta for a Goodfellas sequel or reunion. Too much plastic surgery and the voices ... foghettaboutit.

Kinda surprised at how distant Edie Falco and Gandolfino evidently were.

What's her name, the chef's wife, she hasn't changed much.

It was fun watching this. Thanks for sharing.

Chianese talking about that scene when Tony asks if he loves him was gut wrenching

Its always impressive how every single person talks so fondly about Gandolfini.

He's 76 and probably the only real gangster in the entire show. He has been arrested 28 times, convicted several times for criminal offenses and served time in state prisons before getting into acting in a prison troupe.

Sad to see he is definitely slipping mentally and seems to have suffered some type neurological hit with his slow speech and needing to be reminded about a few things in that clip.

Paulie: "You're not gonna believe this. This guy killed 16 Chechoslovakians and is an interior decorator."

Chris: "His apartment looked like shite."

That was one of my favorite lines in the show.


Felt odd watching it without Gandolfini there.

Katherine Narducci is still smoke show and is oddly one of the only ones on that panel getting good work apart from Falco Was cast in the Irishman and Fonzo along with Tom Hardy.

I found Lorraine Bracco very extra and annoying like she was happy for the attention.

Wish more cast members were on the panel like Drea De Matteo, Steve Schirrippa, and Aida Tuturro.

First thing that came to my mind when the interview began with her calling for a prayer for James Gandofini and her subsequent responses to questions.

Sounded to me like she had a few cocktails prior to the show.

Jamie Lynn is a pretty gal and for some odd reason I'd still love to punch Robert Iler in the kisser just for the hell of it. His character, A.J. was the most annoying one on the whole show for me, and that includes Janice, Livia and Ralph as also rans.

I've seen a couple of interviews and stuff with and about her. Apparently around the time the show started she started living sober. The rest of the cast would hang and drink a good bit and she tried to stay away from all that.

The closest we’ll ever get to a Goodfellas sequel was My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin.

It was written by the wife of Nick Pileggi, who wrote Goodfellas / Wise Guys based on his interviews with Henry and Karen Hill.

It was specifically based on Hill’s experiences in the witness protection program in the time between making a plea and getting the windfall from the book and film rights of Goodfellas, which were in jeopardy due to the Son Of Sam laws regarding profiting from criminal activity.

fricky thing was that it came out either right before or concurrent to Goodfellas.

I love that movie as a spoof on the mob lifestyle. Steve Martin is funny as hell and Rick Moranis is perfect as the nerdy FBI agent.
