I was up until almost 3:00 this morning (started yesterday early afternoon) listening again to the Chase interview. If you want to skip straight to talk about The Sopranos skip up to Part 4, and use the little synopsis on the side as a guide for topics. There are occasional tangential comments about the show sprinkled here and there in earlier segments, but the rest of the 5-hour jaunt has to do with the rest of Chase’s career up to that point, which would have been late 2008-early 2009.
No, not really. They were all good.
Well, I did sort of like the one early on where Tony’s taken Meadow to college interviews and has to take care of mob business including a hit in between being Dad.
I really love the one where Janice whacks Richie Aprile. “What … are you gonna cry now?”
Bad move, Richie! 
I was what is called a day player. If a scene require the use of a Steadicam I came in to do the shots. I worked on a handful of episodes in season 2 and season 3.
The actors were consummate professionals and worked very hard. Similarly the crew with staffed with absolute top drawer talent. Those were very gratifying days at work.
It is fair to say James set the tone on the set. Hard working, professional, focused. A superb environment in which to deliver your best work!
My interaction was very much in your face- the kind of camera work I did requiresd me to be just a few feet from the actors at all times.
Of course, he was only about 14 when the series started, so it would have been difficult to predict how he would develop as an actor - or physically. As it was, A.J. turned out to be the Sopranos version of Fredo Corleone (without the compensation of having more capable brothers).
Cool! Thanks for sharing this with us. I’m envious.
Me too!
Thanks for sharing that… What a cool way to make a living
I do love my job.
