Carlo Giuliano on The Sopranos

[carlogiuliano]

No, actually I am born and raised in Italy, Naples, to be exact, the same city as my character Italo.

[martinho24s1]

omg! Wish I had David Chase sitting right next to me in a plane:o

[GregorHamilton]

Is that David Chase sitting in the seat next to them on the plane? I'm probably wrong but it sort of looks like him.

[Vidinotes]

bravo Carlos - I loved your character. smooth operator! Hope to see you more on the silver screen!

ciao ciao

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

I forget, why did they have to "import talent" from Naples to make this hit?

[tryandlisten]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi So it doesn't get linked back to them at all. Allegedly this is common practice with crime circles, to get people in from overseas to commit these crimes and then go back immediately afterwards

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@tryandlisten After doing a quick bit of shopping of course! LOL.

[jolorulz]

so which one was carlo? great scene!

[cammpinno]

Wow, this is an amazing channel Carlo!

[CertifiedGooner729]

Who was that dude with the baseball cap and in the beginning? What was his connection with the Sopranos? I forget.

[AbyssCrown]

@CertifiedGooner729

His name was Corky, I believe. He was an associate of Christopher's, and was the "middle man" for the hit on Rusty and the failed one on Phil Leotardo.

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@AbyssCrown Yep, you got it right.

[carlogiuliano]

Hi, Guys!

Thank you all for honoring us with your love and attention! I can tell you all that the level of professionalism, generosity and courtesy on the set of The Sopranos is the highest I have seen in America and anywhere else. I have only had one other film experience in Italy that could rival that level, but positively nothing else besides that. The actors are so talented and know each other so well as a team that I thought I was being inducted in to the Mafia for real.

[jetelegen]

Ha! Why did David Chase want to be sitting there? I can see if you're David Lynch, and you write yourself into the script so that you can make out with Madchen Amick, but this seems a little gratuitous.

Great scenes, by the way. The Sopranos always did a great job with making "buttons" human, for which the actors, of course, deserve plenty of credit.

[TheOrionauta]

forte come li avete fregati,baccala americani

[Mattykcanoetrippin]

such a great scene on the show.great acting

[angstotheclown]

So which goombah are you?

[carlogiuliano]

The memory of that fabulous experience will leave with me forever. So will your wonderful feedback.

Warmest to you all,

Carlo

[tonypanz]

@carlogiuliano Thank you for the clips and your feedback! It is so interesting to get "behind the scenes" type of feedback on youtube from somebody who actually was involved in such a great show. You did a great job and I really appreciate the stories you have about the show. Thanks again, please post any other future projects you will be involved in. I like how you're looking at corky with amusement when he is speaking Italian to you lol.

[Omegavegametal]

@carlogiuliano this scene is perfect .... this makes make wish i was from the homeland and not the mafiouso aspect just the language its beautiful....

[SantinoDiCorleone]

@carlogiuliano

Bravo Carlo !!!

[carlogiuliano]

You would not believe how professional and how gracious all of these people are, despite their tough badass public personas.

David Chase hung out with me after my audition as if we had been childhood friends and started telling me about his Italian roots and family.

So did Frankie Valli before I whacked him. He told me all about his Italian Jersey family, his grandpa and with what gusto his grandpa laughed at the emerging enterprising bravado of his little grandson.

[carlogiuliano]

Hi, guys!

Sorry for being so late in responding to all of you. Thank you from the heart for honoring me with such fabulous praises! I am very flattered and moved!

David Chase is indeed sitting at our left on the plane and his directions to us were oddly overlapping those of Tim Van Pattem, the director. I remember bobbing my head back and forth like a ping pong ball because I was vainly trying to give both of them my full attention and they were speaking from opposite sides.

[Carshalton]

anyone notice david chase sitting there at the end?

[MrGobbledegook]

When I watched this episode (series 6 ep 7?) It didn't have the subtitles but I could still tell what these guys were saying. IF ONLY I COULD SPEAK ITALIAN!!

"Mio padre si chiamava Antonio Andolini...E chistu e pi tia!"

[LeavesNoTrace]

Wow. You were in the best show on TV in the last decade. Nice one.

[IVomitOnYourGod]

I love this part.

[Mozman1985]

Carlo is great here, and in the Blue Comet. Total badass, ruthless assassin. Excellently acted.

[temahoney]

I always wished they gave you more scenes...

[SiculianuPazzu]

stong vicin a Delta Parkway me sa ch'è sbagliat !!

-Moové el Automobilé

Aahahahahah bravo cumpà si' bravissimo

[DonRodrigon]

Hmm. That guitar tune at the end isn't even Italian, although it almost sounds like it. It's actually Spanish, titled "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" (Memories of the Alhambra) composed by Francisco Tárrega.

Disfrutad!

[italianluvah83]

ah thank you you for this...i love hearing napulitano--esp when its spoken conversationally like this...i love it, thank you

[furb393]

Mate you got that Neapolitan dialect & mannerisms down perfectly - Did you live in Campania at all or did you have to go through some kind of coaching?

[carlogiuliano]

Thank you!

I was born and raised in Naples. Thank you for watching me!

Best,

Carlo

[Trinder3467]

@carlogiuliano Just out of curiousity, how much compensation did you get for those roles in the Sopranos?

[locc2daBrain420]

is corky the dude from pest?

[Helix1986]

An associate of Christopher Moltisanti, and a heroin addict. He was enlisted by Christopher to accommodate the Italian hitmen provided to Tony for the hit to Rusty Millio. Corky was chosen primarily because he speaks Italian and would be able to communicate effectively with the hitmen. Christopher paid him for the job with heroin.

[carlogiuliano]

He is! His name is Edoardo Ballerini. An awesome dude indeed!

Check his website if you get a chance. Thanks for watching us!

[Helix1986]

I love that soundtrack. It is Pepe Romero Recuerdos de la Alhambra.

[78massimino]

mitico carlo, troppo bravo,vorrei vederti piu spesso pero'

[carlogiuliano]

There is no "best sounding" accent. They all ahve their charm and their color. The one that is considered the purest and closest to standard Italian, however, is the Tuscan dialect. This is because the immense prestige of Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca and Giovanni Boccaccio (the "three florentine crowns", transformed the Tuscan dialect into the cradle of the future Italian language.

[orduni90]

which is the best sounding Italian accent? because i mean i aint too sure about the Sicilian one.

[DG3744]

Rusty is Italien and Cant even speak the language? What kinda of Italian cant speak they're own language!

[ILoveRavenc]

2:33

is that david chase i see sitting back there? : ]

[carlogiuliano]

It is him indeed. . I remember that I was actually taking directins simultaneously from the director, Tim Van Zandt, and David Chase himself, and because I didn't want to seem disrespectful to either one of them by giving the other my full attention, I was bobbing my head left and right like a ping pong ball in a vain effort to listen to both simultaneous.

David Chase is a wonderful guy and, when I auditioned for him, he treated me as though I had been his longtime friend. Rare!

Best,

Italo

[shamrock118]

the gun the driver dropped on the ground moved places. compare 1:57 and 2:01

[jpersaud]

notice that the house is clamenzas house from the godfather 1

[ILoveRavenc]

well Jack i hope u recall that Rusty was also 1 of the guys who motivated Tony B into killing Joe Peeps who just happened to be pretty close to Johnny Sack so it's pretty reasonable that John asked Tony to put the hit on Rusty.

[jakeryan37]

not soma too mucha lol

[AnthonyV393]

LOL your in the mob, you back out of your driveway but are suddenly blocked. A man gets out and starts speaking italian, WOULDNT YOU SUSPECT SOMETHING?

just like that movie with Al pacino and sean penn. A guy calls you and in a New jersey accent says "yea, someone just hit your car, you should come down and check it out" I mean LMAO!

[rogerb1031]

@AnthonyV393 I couldnt agree more !! The Scene shouldve been the guys pull up real quiet & blast anyone in the car. To be blocked in the driveway & not think its a hit.- come on david chase ! The writing was sooooo bad the last 2 yrs. rb1031

[angrycoyote]

I find it very funny how Rusty tries to communicate with the man by saying "move el automovile"

[carlogiuliano]

Funny, isn't it? I had the honor of coaching Frankie Valli on that line. He wanted to make sure he was believable enough and we worked on it for a very long time. He is a very rigorous and hard-working actor and has tremendous will power, personality and discipline. It was impossible to make him sound as a native, but the end result, I think, was very believable. It was a treat to "whack" him. I am a very fortunate hitman.

Thank you very much for your comment.

Ciao,

Italo

[Ubbooo]

Where is your buddy Salvatore in "The Blue Comet" Episode?

[carlogiuliano]

He could't make it. He was busy whacking a couple of Italian politicos.

The amazing actor who plays him, Peter Allas, speaks little Italian, and yet, through his great inventiveness and phenomenal improvisational skills, he managed to steal the show! Every time I watch the final plane scene myself and I hear him say "actualmende mino cari a Broccolino" , or something, I laugh myself senseless. Thank you so very much for watching us!

Best,

Italo

[viciazzo]

is Peter Allas taking part in the failed hit on Phil Leotardo later on in the series? thanks

[DeCavalcante]

It was Frankie Valli thats why! no actually Tony got him whacked because I'm pretty sure Frank Vincent or "Phil" asked him too.

[Helix1986]

Is this standard Italian language?

[carlogiuliano]

No, it's Neapolitan dialect. Completely different. Pretty much like Gaelic and English. Thank you for posting your comment.

[TanteRisate]

Io sono italiano e in questa scena parlano dialetto napoletano, nemmeno io riesco a capirla molto bene :D

[carlogiuliano]

I guess Rusty pissed off Tony somehow. I am not sure, "WHY" is a question I never ask when I am hired to whack someone.

Thank you for posting your comment!

[Helix1986]

Salvatore is amazing character but he was only played in two episodes. That is too bad.

I don't understand why they killed Rusty.

[jackwardjw]

Rusty had tried in the past to take control of the family by using little Carmine as a puppet. Johnny Sack was worried he would try to do it again so he personally asked Tony to clip him as a favour
