Michael Imperioli reveals the hilarious reason why this 'Sopranos' scene needed 12 takes
Briefly

In a recent interview, Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa reminisced about their experiences on 'The Sopranos,' particularly recalling a memorable scene from Season 3 titled 'Proshai, Livushka.' Imperioli described how the cast struggled to maintain composure during a somber moment at Livia Soprano's funeral, laughing uncontrollably after a line about the uniqueness of individuals. Despite the scene's intended sadness, it became a cherished and humorous memory for the cast, highlighting the tight-knit family dynamic and shared experiences during the making of the show.
"Janice [Aida Turturro] wanted everybody to say something about her, and we just all started laughing hysterically and they had to cut—this happened at least 12 takes in a row."
"So what should be one of the saddest scenes, right, cause it's Livia's funeral turned into this thing that we just couldn't shoot because people were just laughing too much."
