“I had that big scene [in The Sopranos]. I asked them I said, 'look, I’m willing to do this, but I just hope it’s not going to be just that and that’s it,' and they said 'well, nothing this year, but next year’s gonna be big for you.' And that’s how that all evolved. That year sort of changed my life...to be recognized around the world just from that role is pretty cool.”
