'Sopranos' nears the end, but Vince Curatola is no sad Sack


There's a chill in the air, but it's not nearly as frigid as the winter day when Vince Curatola stood on this snow-trimmed driveway with James Gandolfini. They were filming The Sopranos' climactic fifth-season finale - which ended with rifle-toting FBI agents arresting Johnny Sack at his home, and Tony Soprano sprinting into the woods to safety. 

"We started working at about 6:30 that morning in December 2003, and it was thoroughly ice-cold," Curatola recalls. "We'd come in prepared. Jimmy's a great memoriser. So am I. But when they called us into rehearsal to block it, I looked at Jimmy and said, `What's the first line?' He looked at me and he said, `I have no idea. ...' Now, this is a four-page scene. It was so cold, the brain - nothing works."
