He talks about how he got his start in the business and what it was like to work with Woody Allen, The Coen Brothers and to perform the Lion King on Broadway. He also shares his story of auditioning for David Chase and how he thought it was the worst audition of his life. Imagine how shocked he was when he landed the re-occurring role of Benny Fazio.

Plus get the scoop on all the cool little places the Sopranos cast used to go during and after shooting the show. After that Michael and Steve get into this week’s show which sort of a Christmas episode…Sopranos style.
