Has anyone mentioned this? I didn't find any verifying links (I just made a quick look), but Newsweek is reporting that Steve Buscemi is joining the cast to play Tony's cousin. Buscemi is also supposed to be directing several episodes for the next couple of seasons.
That would be awesome!! He would fit in well with the ensemble. One of my favorite actors joining one of my favorite shows? Fan-tastic!!
He's supposed to play Tony's cousin, and his character's name will be "Tony" also. I guess he probably won't be "offed" too quickly. I love the show too, but I think a touch of quirkiness would help it quite a bit, and Buscemi can definitely add that....either in front of, or behind the camera.
No question Pole. I think it's an awesome move. Props to Georgianne Walken...Soprano's Casting Director AND Christopher Walken's wife!
Outstanding news! I've always loved his work. He did a good job with "Trees Lounge" (I hope I got that right). Just what the series needs and I'm pumped!
