Brilliant writing from Chase and the gang that the scene still works whether or not people have the exact opposite takeaways that Kingsley is intended to be a prestigious actor or someone who'll appear in any old poo poo.

I like to think that Chrissy was inspired to wishcast Ben Kingsley after catching Jonathan Glazer's Sexy Beast

Love how Carmine thinks about Chrissy's comfort and skips his usual trip to the hotel bar. Grading on the shows curve this guy was a top notch human.

Little Carmine is one of the only people that ever actually took Christopher’s sobriety seriously. EDIT: It wasn’t until this rewatch that I noticed even Adriana does poo poo like drink wine in front of him at home and keep a bottle of vodka in the freezer.

I know it's been said before, but if anybody "won" The Sopranos, it was Little Carmine. Dude is going to die an old man, happy and beloved, surrounded by family who adore him and who will miss him terribly.

Best thing Tony ever did for AJ was get him a job with Lil C before he died. He's 100% better off with him as a role model.

Getting him out of that pool was a decent thing too. Even if he ate some Lincoln logs first.

That scene of him repeating Richie Aprile and Richie just not knowing what to do is great.

He’s also the only person to say out loud “Tony killed Ralphie because of a horse and it’s Silvio’s job to take care of it”

I also dig that for all the obfuscation, when Albert is finally cornered by Ralphie for a direct answer he just straight up says,"Go against Tony Soprano? No." and that's that, conversation over.

If Tony died (he didn't), then he might have the best shot at Jersey boss and if Tony didn't die (he did) then he's got a good shot at underboss, especially with his son and Meadow hooking up. Patsy has for my money one of the best threats in the series to Gloria with "My face will be the last one you see, and it won't be cinematic."

I vaguely remember reading an interview with Chase or another one of the head writers for the show saying they felt like they couldn't give the actor who played Albert Barese too much to do in the show because he looked too good and too much like the classical image of a wise guy, they wanted their mobsters to look hosed up and weird.

If I remember right the actor who played Joey Peeps said the guy was also a huge rear end in a top hat and called him a slur on set one day.

If you notice Albert Barese suddenly disappears at the beginning of the fifth season and they're obviously cutting around him during Tony B's welcome home party. It's because the actor was under investigation for mob-related activities and his lawyer had to say "Hey, maybe stop playing a mobster on television for a while"

Just remembering a funny Sopranos related mystery from years ago. When my wife and I were first dating in 2006 she told me that before we met, a guy once hit on her in a Starbucks in Hollywood and he told her he was an actor who had a small part on the Sopranos. She politely told him she wasn’t interested and didn’t give him her number. Then after she left the Starbucks, the guy walked in front of her car, stopped in the middle of the crosswalk and mooned her. I found this hilarious and I was dying to know which actor it was. She had not yet watched the show and could not remember what the guy looked like enough to give a good description other than he was not a fat guy (thus eliminating much of the cast) and he was a younger guy. This is how I ended up rewatching the show, with her seeing it for the first time. Keeping in mind the guy who macked on her in Starbucks could have been lying about being on the Sopranos in the first place, we unfortunately got through the whole series without clearly identifying the guy. It was amusing trying to figure out which ancillary character from the Sopranos flashed his rear end to my girl. Was it someone like Little Paulie? Joey Peeps? Mustang Sally? Random guy in a pizza joint?

Tbh it also sounds like the kind of lie that a guy who would moon a woman for rejecting him would tell “I played uhh paulie. No no the other paulie, Mary and Peter’s cousin, yeah him”

Yeah that was my first suspicion. The show was at its peak popularity at the time and Hollywood was probably crawling with lovely dudes using that as a pickup line.
