Hey, you got a problem with how “The Sopranos” wound up? Take it up with Christopher, if you dare.“I think it’s a great ending. It’s a good way to go out,” said Michael Imperioli, who played Tony’s nephew, until he got whacked this season.
Imperioli and fellow cast members told reporters they were pleased with the finale as they walked the red carpet at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Sunday.All nine, including Arthur Nascarella (the construction company honcho Carlo), were out of character, technically speaking. But it was sometimes hard on Sunday to see where television left off and reality set in. Gandolfini and Imperioli, both in sunglasses, looked every bit the silent gangsters. They let the rest of the ensemble do the talking, and Gandolfini was first of the gang to retreat from the late-afternoon crush and disappear inside Hard Rock Live — where dinner capped off with a chocolate-bullet-riddled cake awaited.
The characteristically shy James Gandolfini, who played New Jersey mob boss Tony, was mum on his thoughts on the ending. He sported a beard and sunglasses and was sweating in the muggy South Florida weather as he smiled and waved to the large crowd of fans that gathered for his send-off.
Lorraine Bracco’s character, Dr. Jennifer Melfi, didn’t appear in the series finale. Melfi abruptly terminated Tony’s therapy in last week’s episode.
