Joe GannascoliI’ve finally been able to catch up with Joseph R. Gannascoli, after all he is one busy man, between filming and personal appearances, he is one hard person to catch up with. Joe looks great and he is always a pleasure to spend time with. Joe plays the character of Vito Spatafore on The Sopranos and in an earlier episode played the part of Gino, who was in the bakery scene when Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli) shot the bakery clerk in the foot. Joe was born in Brooklyn and presently resides in a lovely area called Bay Ridge. This cohesive neighborhood, basking in the shadow of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge is always a pleasure to visit with its quaint shops and wonderful places to eat. Joe is always an interesting person to interview. I’ve come up with some neat questions that I am sure will get Joe, always the comedian, on a roll. Your character on The Sopranos, Vito Spatafore shot Jackie Aprile, Jr. (Jason Cerbone) in the final episode of season 3, how does it feel to be wanted dead by every young female under the age of 19?
