David Chase, the award-winning creator of"The Sopranos," is looking back -- with a prequel film"The Many Saints of Newark." Playing a young Tony Soprano is 19-year-old Michael Gandolfini, the son of the late"Sopranos" star James Gandolfini, who died of a heart attack in 2013.
And as he tells Esquire for its September issue, preparation for the role meant he had to actually watch"The Sopranos" for the first time. As you can imagine, it was not an easy task. He added,"I think what made it so hard was I had to do it alone. I was just sitting alone in my dark apartment, watching my dad all the time. I started having crazy dreams. I had one where I auditioned for David [Chase] and I looked down at my hands, and they were my dad’s hands."
"From the first day, I fell in love with it," he says of acting."It actually started my grieving process with my dad."
