The Sopranos' boys have been quite naughty these days. Louis Gross, who plays Tony Soprano's bodyguard, Perry Annunziata, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly burglarizing a home in Queens, N.Y. Then on Monday, John Ventimiglia, who plays chef and restaurant owner Artie Bucco, was arrested for drunk driving and for possessing cocaine.
AMNY goes farther by listing all of The Sopranos' actors who have gotten into trouble.
But, being the bad boys that they are is what attracts us to the show, right? I haven't been able to watch the show ever since I moved to Jersey (I don't subscribe to premium channels such as HBO to cut down on my cable bill), so I'm forced to peruse the Web site to read the episode guides instead.
Although this is the last season for the Jersey mobsters, fans can continue to enjoy it. THQ announced today that it is developing a videogame based on The Sopranos. The game will feature many of the cast's voices, including James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.
About the game, from the press release:
"A mob war is brewing as Philadelphia's and New Jersey's most powerful families are about to collide. As the illegitimate son of "Big Pussy," you have been born into the organization and are now being given an opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty to Tony Soprano. As a soldier you must earn money on collections, protect your turf through intimidation, and gain admiration within your own family to move up in the ranks of the organization. Carry out orders from Paulie, Silvio, Christopher and Tony in familiar locations such as the Bada Bing!, Nuovo Vesuvio's and Satriale's."
All of a sudden, I have a hankering for a cannoli. Expect The Sopranos game to be released this holiday season for both the Xbox 360 and PS2 systems.
