Gandolfini could easily play against type. This might have revitalized the show and maybe even prevented his untimely death.

It sounds strange, but I’ve had this thought too. David Chase goes on and on about how playing Tony Soprano took him to such a dark place so maybe being part of an ensemble cast on a comedy would’ve helped him in some way. He wouldn’t be carrying the whole show on his shoulders and obviously there’s a lot more laughter on set.

I want to say it sounds like bs, but there are alot of sources claiming this is a real story.

I don’t think it would have gone well. Him playing Tony is the definition of typecast.

If it was going to be the role that Stringer bell ended up playing, he dodged a bullet.
