silvio doing pochettino, worlds colliding, stevie van zandt remains with us.phen, do i have this right, you are not an actor. david chased cold calls you and says, we are putting together this series on hbo about the mob. you read through the part of tony soprano, both sides think better of it, you developed the character of the consigliere, even the name silvio dante. do i have that about right? >> yes, it sounds ridiculous, but yes. you gotit right. [laughs] yeah. he had been in tv a long time. this was going to be, i think, his last tv show. he wanted to start making movies. david chase was talking about. he wanted new faces, he wanted to break all the rules. and he did break all the rules. he did not kw he would be revolutionizing television when doing so. but he broke all the rules. and after hbo said, what are you, crazy? we are not going to cast the guy who never acted before as the lead, cooler heads prevail and he said, what do you want to do? and now that i think about it, i feel guilty about it, taking an actress job, i know they have to go through,
