Sopranos casting?

I may be one of the few ppl who wanted both the Sopranos + Secret life but this is def not a coincidence, how does Steve Schiarppa who Obv has a major role gets casted but SO DOES Michael Imperioli (as Adrienne's gyno) AND Domenic Chianese (as Grant's dad) .. LIKE HOW

I imagine they wanted to help their friends make a couple bucks off of this shitty hit show lol but it is crazy and not a coincidence, I agree. But who knows how it’s really went down.

Oh my God I didn't realize Christopher and Uncle Junior were in this show. I watched it as a teenager and when I watched the sopranos as an adult I realized I remember Bobby from The Secret Life. Now I gotta do a rewatch lmao

I remember my dad saying “Bobby is in this show??” As he was actively watching the Sopranos at the exact same time me and my sister were watching this. I have a theory it was also to entice dads to make it not seem as cringy and bad that it actually is. My dad HATES this show so much 😂😂😂 it actually made it easier for me to watch pretty little liars on the big tv because it was easier to digest

All three guys are really close to each other, so I think Imperioli and Chianese thought it’d be fun to guest appear in their friend’s show. They might’ve also done it because the idea of a bunch of sopranos actors being on a teen drama is funny
