What Do You Know, What Do You Say to Joe Gannascoli? In just six short seasons, Pod Yourself A Gun has gone from the only Sopranos podcast to the only Sopranos podcast to get an interview with the actor who played Gino in season one episode eight, “The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti.” Remember? Christopher cuts him in line, and he gets all huffy about it? The actor's name is Joseph R. Gannascoli, and you might also remember for his other work in the series, as the character performing the most surprising felatio history of television, Vito Spatafore. In the latest Patreon-exclusive edition of PYAG, Matt and Vince talk to the man who played the man who killed Jackie Jr., lost a bunch of weight, got caught lassoing leather daddies, and ate Johnny Cakes in New Hampshire. During the conversation, Joe reveals how much of his own life was incorporated into the character, the book that inspired Vito's gay storyline, and who the biggest ballbusters were on set. Along with all the inside dirt on The Sopranos cast and crew, the conversation covers Joe's fascinating journey from self-taught chef and self-proclaimed degenerate gambler to self-taught actor to golfing dad with two christmas trees.

"Brooklyn Mike" of TBMSRadio.com interview with actor, Joseph R. Gannascoli from the HBO Series, "The Sopranos". Joe Gannascoli, was born on February 15, 1959 in Brooklyn, New York who portrayed Vito Spatafore on the hit series "The Sopranos". Gannascoli has starred in 42 episodes as a mob captain who is gay. In one of the most famous SOPRANOS shows, Vito Spatafore is outed having been spotted dancing in leather chaps at a gay bar with another man. It was Gannascoli’s idea to create the gay character on "The Sopranos", and it became one of the most intriguing story lines in the show’s history. During the last season of The Sopranos Vito Spatafore was whacked on the final show in a cruel and violent death. Since then, Gannascoli has created three clever products: An enticing crime novel, A Meal To Die For; a gourmet line of 3 Italian marinara sauces called A SAUCE TO DIE FOR (one sauce is roasted garlic and eggplant with olive oil from Umbria, Italy); and a special cue stick for Billiards named A CUE TO DIE FOR. If you are a fan of THE SOPRANOS you will understand the significance of this item!!!!Joe has appeared in many films including his legendary role in GOODFELLAS. He is a gourmet chef. He learned the culinary arts and then opened a restaurant. In many interviews he has proudly proclaimed himself a world famous chef. Joe is also a devout NY Giants fan. During this interview, Joe has a heart of gold by donating his time and money for getting food to the first responders and others during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

Episode eight of The Sopranos, "The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti," premiered on February 28th, 1999. More than 20 years later, we're discussing it with El-P, rap veteran and one half of Run The Jewels. And, as it turns out, a huge Sopranos fan. This episode is that perfect combination of great guest and great episode to discuss. Perhaps remembered as "the one where Christopher tries to write a screenplay," episode eight is one of the best episodes of season one and certainly one that hits on all cylinders -- comedy, drama, character psychology, and moving the story forward. It has the best dream sequence of any Sopranos thus far, the funniest AJ moments, amazing malapropism, delightful racism against the Irish from Livia, and takedowns of intellectuals and stand-up comics as brutal as any comment on the mafia. Some of the firsts in this episode include our first glimpses of Dr. Melfi's family, including her self-hating Italian ex-husband and her insufferable son, who "just moved into a smoke-free dorm room at Bard." In a show full of vicious thieves and murderers, Melfi's son manages to stand out as the least likable. It's also the first time we see Joseph R. Gannascoli as Gino, later to be recast as Vito Spatafore, who starred in one of the all-time great Sopranos episodes, "Johnnycakes," which was incidentally directed by the same director as this episode, Tim Van Patten, brother of Dick.
