The pleasure is all mine pete, the greatest interview I ever done
Hey what were you going to say about the black Mercedes
You was so amazing in Sopranos.
What’s this the fucking UN NOW???
You're my favorite character on Sopranos, Johnny Sack is the absolute best
If you read this Vincent i wanto you to know you're the only guy who could steal a scene from James Gandolfini, and that's not an easy accomplishment
Johnny Sac answers his cell phone: “Speak”
Great guy, humble and classy. My brother said hello to him in a NY restaurant, then sat down to have dinner with his girl. A few moments later, Mr. Curatola sent over drinks for their meal. Later, he waved goodbye to my brother as he left the restaurant. They had never met before. Salute!
Great anecdote
Nice story
Wow what a guy.
Actors of his era were in a class by themselves, men’s men with class, respect & family morals
Very allegorical.
I remember when you used to wait in the car!
AND AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED YOU SHOULD STILL BE THERE!!!

karl jesaitis What’s the Enoch Powell reference?
Jackson Ellis
Enoch Powell commented above he said “she used to be some hoofer the poor thing “
and I was laughing at his comment
karl jesaitis Oh! Ok. I thought it was some deep Sopranos reference I didn’t understand. That show an intellectual show for non intellectuals like me.
My fav Johnny Sac quote: "What's this the F***en U.N. NOW"
i like that one too lol
"Christ, we break more rules than the catholic church."
NICOTINE IS AN ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE
His WTF? before the un remark sounds pretty badass too. Mi favorite is him yelling at Chrissy.
This guy absolutely nailed the role of a mob boss. Cold, calculating and intimidating.
He cried when he got arrested! 🤣
@@chriskelly4477 his whole life was failing apart
@@chriskelly4477 because he couldn’t spend more time with his family during his daughters wedding
@@Rich575 to cry like a woman? its a fuckin disgrace!!
@@chriskelly4477 I've seen much tougher guys cry in their daughters funeral
Mr Curatola was in New Orleans and I was working at this Hotel in the French Quarters. I recognized him and he winked and asked if I could let him know where the newspapers were so I had someone bring it to him. Later on that day the Bellman let me know he left me $20. He’s such a class act and a real gentleman. Salute

No one smokes a cigarette like Johnny Sack
Ginny thinks I quit

Brooke your smoking 😘
I want to sanction a hit on ralph cifaretto
Ginny could get heavy
This man was my favorite character in the show. His caring for his wife was so real. Yet he could be so tough. Great actor, better person.

Many years ago as a huge Sopranos fan, I remember emailing Vince via his old website, asking questions and letting him know how much I enjoyed the show. He would always graciously respond within a day. Class act!
Other than DeNiro in the Goodfellas bar scene, noone smoked a cigarette cooler than Johnny Sack.
So true. And no one put on a suit of clothes GQish, like Johnny Sack.
DeNiro had Sunshine of Your Love on his side. Johnny Sack stood alone in the cool smoker department.
Oho! Johnny Sack! They must had free tokens at the tunnel!
damn, just watched that episode today
How do you expect to make a dime from this f-ckin' stonewaller?
Tremondous moxie for his size.
@paladin De Lupi how'd you get in here?
Ritchie go home.
Ginny wanted to go on the Atkins, she compromised, she ate chocolate off the laundry room floor instead
This is a next level creative comment
Sopranos fans always turn comment sections into a gold mine🤣😂
Poor thing Used to be some hoofer
Hahahaha
What she needs is her own zip code
I ADORED how Johnny Sack defended his wife in front of all these people, while he himself was not happy with her weight. That's a man!
Her weight never bothered him, though. From Season 4, Episode 4: "The Weight" -
"I'll you though, I never had a problem with Ginny's weight. To me she's beautiful. 'Rubenesque.' That woman is my life. And to think she's being mocked..."
This is how you try!?
Ginny always came in heavy
Johnny Sack for me was the best character in the Sopranos, vicious and tough but also human. A character to be really feared.
Amen. And Johnny Sack was also loyal, esp. to his fat wife.
He was probably my first or second fave character on the show
The only one of those mafia guys truly loyal to his wife and family.
He was the first character that stuck on me years ago, and rewatching the whole series last year I realized I was right.
Sounds like Tony
This Premium Pete is more creative than Spielberg.
😂😂🙏🏼
First of all that hasn't been established, second of all this is how you handle it?!
" how long do we go back all of us " 🤷♂️
You can't be serious about him ending up..... ya know
Full Salvo she’s the mother of my children
Premium Pete talks:
Vincent: “NOBODY’S TALKIN’ TO YOU!”
Alright, Jesus.
@@masterprattu JAJAJA
"You know I remember it wasn't long ago you use to post VHS recordings on FARK. And as far as I'm concerned, YOU SHOULD STILL BE THERE!"
"Salut 🍷"
I see your comments on all sopranos clips
No one could of played Johnny sac better than Vincent curatola
I want you to know this is the last time I will watch this. It's undignified.
Just today I was going over a big bridge I drive everyday and for some reason that scene popped into my head.
Yeah that's a good one 😂
What a great interview!
This guy was one of my personal best and favourite sopranos characters and a great actor.
This guy was one of my personnel, too. Followed me around everywhere.
Same here. "To me she is beautiful" almost got a tear from that line.
“What happened to this thing? We bend more rules than the Catholic Church!” Johnny Sack, season 4 episode “THE WEIGHT”.
Its not worth repeating....
“Listen.. as far as that thing goes, the coffee with the chicory”
Johnny’s way: “... the KWAfee wit the CHICK’ree!” 😄✌️
what? you mean the stuff behind the pool?
Chris
The cake with the marizipan flowers
Christopher Triplet
Did you do the thing I asked
@@Chris-bs4qy no! The actual fucking cake!
"build up anxiety like you wouldn't believe" and here I thought I was the only one who did that lol! Great interview!
I lost my father at 6 years old. I'm 22 now and not a day goes by that I don't wish I had a father figure.
Really appreciate the way Vincent spoke about the role his family had in his life. Excellent interview! Well done.
Blessings sent your way!
They're overrated. I have a dad and he's a complete prick and bully to me.
@@bilko_4732 I feel you, lost mine in 2017 to multiple myeloma. Wish I had at least one more conversation with him, couldn´t get to the hospital fast enough. I always feel his presence when driving through his neighborhood, he lived there his entire life.
@@toby099 They are not overrated , they can be loving , caring , teachers of life , and protectors of their sons .....some people like your father (Im sorry if it comes in a bad taste ) should not make a family in the first place , should not bring kids If they know they have a messed up personality . I'm sorry your dad bullied you ....best thing to do - form up to become a great person that knows right from wrong and prove your old man you could be a better family man then he was ....
I lost my dad in 2004 I was only 9 it was extremely hard for me but I’m Also extremely lucky my mother was one of the best mums she always made sure I was taken care of before her 😊
The more I watch Vincent the more I love this guy.
Johnny Sack should have ended the interview by saying We're done here 😂
He has a right to be here....
@@DrJ-hx7wv he got rigth a lotta things rigth now
"If you don't bring that prick...to my doorstep..I will rain down a shitstorm on your family like you have never fucking seen....were done here." Lmao Johnny Sack
As he’s speeding off in his Maserati
@@nodescriptionavailable3842 Tony Soprano said John would have to squeeze Ginny into the front passenger seat of his Maserati using a shoe horn.
“When Ralphie asked to interview me after he made capo I poured cold water on it right away”

“Don’t talk crazy!.....if you want to commit suicide, pills 💊 are a lot easier”
Dont talk stupid
Watched that one (He Is Risen) last night. Talking Sopranos podcast was on that episode and I've been following them on my 40th rewatch.
Vince has an amazing ability to recall memories. Wow
Johnny Sack was my FAVE. I love how smooth and poised he was.
Love from Australia. One of the best characters of all time from the greatest show of all time. An absolute gentleman in real life. Great interview.
RIP Tony Sirico.
The most incredible character of the sopranos. Johnny sack was such a loveable villain. Just enough quirks that made him so real. No one could have played him better than this man.
🍭🍫🍬"I thought you were on the Atkins !"
“It’s hard John!”
You were supposed to stop smoking john....its nicotine its an addictive substance lmao Johnny sack
Normally if I see a 2 hour long interview I lose interest quickly, but I could listen to this for days
he was a great addition to the show its a shame only 6 series were ever made
This interview is like a life experience. Just watching and listening to him feels like a grandpa sharing his old stories and imparting wisdom. Wonderful interview!
This guy was brilliant in Sopranos. Man, Premium Pete is such a great interviewer. Great content as usual.
🙏🏼❤️
Johnny Sack became my favorite character in The Sopranos because he was a intimidating mobster! Vincent Curatola did an amazing performance as Johnny Sack . I was sad they killed him off when Johnny Sack got cancer .
Johnny Sacks is one of my favorite characters from The Sopranos.
Of course there were many many great actors in The Sopranos. But with mister Curatola, "Johnny Sack", my heart started pumping faster each time HE appeared. His eyes.. dear Lord, these silences..uff.. there's a WAR going on behind these eyes, yet he smiles...and then his love for his wife, anything any woman can only dream of..Mister Curatola, my hat's off to you!
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Vince can tell a story! I like this guy he doesn't interrupt his guests like lots of other interviewers do.
He does interrupt multiple times haha. But he does that to sort of give leading questions, not to say stupid jokes or whatever
What a wonderful man. It really moved me when he talked about sharing his knowledge.
Lady you are insane!!! And blind as a bat if you can't see that Trump is the Antichrist.
really likeable man for sure!
I will say- Johnny Sacs had the most fitting death on the entire show. It was just so perfect that he died from lung cancer considering he was always chain smoking cigarettes and as he mentioned that Johnny Sac was never rushed by anyone, neither is cancer... the disease slowly took time to develop and then it explodes and gives you a feeling that something bad could happen at any moment. It almost mirrors his personality in a way. Just very befitting for the methodical character that he was.
Also it was a nice change of pace, usually it's just gun murders 😂
I LOVE VINCENT!!!! MOST UNDERRATED ACTOR ON THE SOPRANOS!!! HE WAS A BOSS AND HIS INTER ACTING WITH JAMES G IT WAS MAGICAL !!!! SALUTE FROM ALL YOUR ITALIAN CANADIAN FRIENDS !!!!!!
DAMN!!!! 2 HOUR interview?
Was very nice of him to accommodate.
You know, I really enjoyed this interview...Good Job....
His character Johhny Sack, I really really trusted him, admired him, trustworthy, loyal,
Is it strange that I've watched this video 4-5 times? I just love the flow of the conversation. Pete doesn't get nearly enough credit and views. Videos with Richie, Furio, Johnny Sack and Paulie are pure gold.
My favorite Johnny Sack scene was the limo funeral scene with Tone. such a great actor
world class actor and clearly a very talented all around guy, respect
What a pleasure to spend 2 hours with such an amazing actor and listen to the man behind the character. There's a reason why the Suprano's is now revered as a high point in TV drama and Vincent Curatola had a major contribution to this success. The casting in the Suprano's was part of the genius of the series and the writers made the story magic.
Played the only character Tony Soprano respected. Was in the last scenes with Sydney Pollack who played an inmate doctor in the Sopranos. Ironic was in the scenes, Vincent's character was dying when it was actually Pollack who was terminally ill.
At 18:46..."Long Island City....that's like Mars to me." I totally busted up and spit out my coffee, I was laughing so hard over that one! I could literally sit for hours listening to this man, even if he just read a Maytag washing machine manual.
I think Tony respected him so much because John would always stick to his principles where Tony would fall short, and he recognized that. Admired it.
@@LandscapingAdvantageThe only reason Tony acquiesced to John was out of fear....knowing that the Lupertazzi Family could easily overwhelm what Carmine Sr. referred to, in the context of the Jersey mob, as a "glorified crew." The Lupertazzi clan had easily 3 to 4 times the soldiers and strong-arm muscle. No way in Hell that Tony Soprano could take them on and he knew it.
If Tony respected anyone it was Carmine Lupertazzi.
@@Carlito_Brigante the Don doesn't wear shorts
Beautiful interview! Curatola is a legend and a great story teller. Thank you so much for this.
Finally... a lengthy interview with my favorite character in The Sopranos, Johnny Sack! Thank you Pete for this amazing interview! (Also, the one with Federico "Furio" Castelluccio!) I can't get enough of Vince. What a wonderful person...Beautiful heart... Very inspiring... I'm smiling the whole f**king 2 hours. Kudos to you Pete!
Thank you! 🙏🏼❤️
Pete brings up a good point. My Italian Dad never shook my hand, hugged me or said he loved me. Not his fault; that's the way HE was raised and so-on down the family tree... a family trait I guess. But we had a mutual knowing of great love and respect for each other. I knew my Dad loved his children dearly. He showed it constantly. His family was his world . And he knew we loved him greatly. I remember when I left home for the first time for college out of state, he waved goodbye and didn't say anything as he was about ready to cry because he didn't know any other way. But I already knew how proud he was and how much he loved me. So, some of us were raised to not verbally express ourselves in difficult emotional situations. When my dad was dying, it was impossible to hold myself together and find the words to say goodbye and say how much I loved him and how he meant the world to me, regrettably so. But I know he knew anyway. Miss him so much. Great interviews Pete. I saw a half dozen in the last couple of days. Good stuff. Thank you.
Johnny Sack had so many memorable moments on that show. Vincent was absolutely magnificent in that role. Glad to see him still alive and enjoying life.
Thanks for this interview Vincent Curatola ( Johnny Sac ) was one of my favorite characters in the Sopranos !!! Thanks for the memories !!
Frank Vincent was also a favorite character!!!
Great interview. Johnny Sack was my favorite character on the Sopranos. Vincent Curatola is an amazing actor! Even the way he would smoke was so much better than any other actor.
Incredible interview. Props to Curatola for being so generous with these stories, this was a real treat to watch.
Vince is an actor I can respect because it's obvious he has no ego and takes life in stride. God bless Vince and the character Johnny Sack.
Fantastic actor! His portrayal of Johnny Sac was so impressive.
Only 34k subscribers and you get an interview with this man ... very impressive 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
He's connected with the new york crew
“Jesus Christ Junior if there were flies on you they’d be paying rent”
@David Calderon you’re an idiot then
Gary Oak shit bloke
Love this man. He reminds me so much of a Late Family member, In fact, I cried my eyes out when "Johnny Sac" Died in the series.
Watched this in the U.K loved every minute of it Johnny Sachs was a brilliant character and Ginny as his wife was inspired.
When I grow up, I want to be like Johnny Sack. (I'm 41...)
All these Soprano men are geniuses. That's why it was such a hit.
Wow this is the first proper interview I’ve seen. Absolutely class. My fave character in the sopranos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was a good interview. What beautiful gift this actor is leaving the world with. Good work
Pete one of THEE BEST interviewers alive. Def in the Top 5. He listens
Fantastic interview!
Man this was one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen
Didn't know about Brando's connection to the actor who played Sollozzo.
This interview is one of the greatest interviews I have ever seen. I enjoy it so much. The vibe, the tone and the good calm mood it gives me. Thank you very much for doing that!
Great interview, Pete. Thank you.
Talk about being generous thanks M. Curatola for a great interview it was incredibly interesting your a great human ! great job Pete!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is such a great interview ... Loved every minute
Fantastic interview, it's like two old friends just having a chat and I felt I was there with you guys. Thank you!
Curatola talking about seeing a red cardinal after Gandolfini's funeral brought back memories of when my Mother died. Red was my Mother's favorite color and the day after her memorial service, I look out of her kitchen window and I see a red cardinal which was rare. It was Mom saying goodbye. PEACE to ALL
Johnny sack was easily my favorite character on the show, actually my favorite character ever literally ever through any show I’ve watched he wins by far.
I have to say Johnny Sac,
This meeting is quite dignified. 🙌
Has to be one of the best interviews I have ever heard. You just picked up a new subscriber, Vinnie is awesome RIP JG.
That Furio Bumper.... LMFAO!
This was my 1st Premium Pete interview, that was great.
And I 100% agree w/you when you said the people/actors are nothing like the characters they portray.
absolutely fantastic interview, perhaps the best of all sopranos cast members. the way he tells his stories and the depth/detail of his delivery is so rich and inspiring, what a treasure
Great great interview! If I could meet any of the Sopranos players, it would be Vincent. Interesting man beyond acting
Vincent I loved you in the Sopranos as Johnny Sack. There was a Army Officer who had these homes built after the soldiers came back from WW2. I was born in the Burroughs of Queens, then raised in Oceanside LONG ISLAND..near Levittown. Then we moved to the Pocono Mts, PA. Worked in Operation Dept in 2 timeshares. Met so many interesting people. I used to check in foreigners, some Mafia it was so interesting. Then moved later on down to WV near Charleston. And in St Albans people built homes for ex military in ORDANCE PARK. Years ago it was very nice now there are slum lords who just rent to druggies, etc. I truly loved your gentle voice, Vincent as Johnny
Vincent is a class act! Great interview and when I watched The Sopranos I thought wow what a sexy guy! Silent, soft talking, smoked a cigarette like no other guy I ever saw smoke one. Again very sexy, strong, great mind and you never knew if he was going to kill you or give you a pass. Great actor and a great interview
This is a really great interview. I always inevitably imagine myself as the interviewer in these videos, just as a hypothetical, but I realize that you do a really really great job of just letting the interviewee talk in a way that I would probably struggle with.
Been waiting for an interview with Vinny for long time. Need him on Michael &Steve's podcast.Loved Johnny Sac character. "What is is this the f-ing UN?". Many great lines. "If theres any flies on you Jr their paying rent".
What a nice and genuine interview. Vincent is so great and the best storyteller, could listen to him all day!
It's only been around about 100 years since we've been able to keep a visual record in the form of video, out of the millennia of human history since we started keeping written records, time stands still for it, Soprano's will live on through multiple generations long after we all die. It should be preserved. It's hard to believe for me that Sopranos is as old as it is, eventually it will be 50 years old. If I'm around I'll still be watching it.
"Speak"
Lolll first time ive seen anyone post the quote. Probably the the best one especially its 1 word. Another 1word quote i love is pauli "AIDS?"
@@gabrielM1111 "Nobody's got aids, and I don't want to hear that word in here again"
This should have been Another 2 hours. GREAT Interview!
Pete, you do a great job of interviewing. This one was very enjoyable. Liked hearing the stories about the Soprano cast, and how Mr. Curatola got the part. Especially loved the way his eyes light up when he mentions Maureen, his wife. Thank you for two hours well spent.
What an incredible actor and storyteller. Cemented his legacy with one role and performed it perfectly.
