Kevin McKid (the main character) is on _Grey’s Anatomy_, and Ray Stevenson (his character’s friend on the show) was recently in _The Other Guys_ in an important role. So they’re still getting work, in other words.

Michael Imperioli was on the American remake of Life on Mars, which lasted only one season (although I had hoped for more). And I thought his role as a cop on that show was quite different from The Sopranos.

Amen! And it’s not his fault that _Detroit 1-8-7_ is perhaps on the bubble. And from his list at [Michael Imperioli - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0408284/) I believe his most non-Soprano character in the Post-Soprano era has to be in [The Lovely Bones (2009).](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380510/)
