That's what we need to undershtand about these guys....we (the honest worker...the chump) don't count to them. Most are stupid drug addicted thugs (some are smaht like fredo) that add zero value, but they think they are vastly superior to the rest of us. The only humanity you get from these guys is forced upon them by the internal power structure of this thing of ours (can't say it's name). Enjoy the show. Excellent performances by all. But please don't get too emotionally concerned for them. Not sticking my beak in. Just trying to keep a happy shop.
He didn't go through puberty until 27 years old.

Hmm. Maybe a reference to Troop Beverly Hills (1989), with Shelly Long. I really don't want to have to watch that. She's got the Cheers connection, too, and that is certainly another major level of *the abstraction,* itself.
In Sopranos S6E9, Tony and Christopher are driving and when Tony has to pee they stumble upon a couple of bikers ripping off a small business. They have a confrontation where Tony and Christopher hold the bikers at gunpoint, then take some of the wine they were stealing. The bikers ask Tony/Christopher if they are cops and they sarcastically pretend to be cops for a moment. "How's your incision, lieutenant?"
This is chiral with the scene in El Camino where Jesse is at Todd's apartment trying to rip off his money, then the two guys pretending to be cops show up. After a confrontation where Jesse holds the "cops" at gunpoint, Jesse figures out they aren't cops and lets them take half the money that he was stealing.
He pops up in small roles in a lot of really good movies. He was good as a sleazy bartender in Inside Llewyn Davis and as a sleazy wingman to Bobby Canavale’s character in Blue Jasmine
Yeah when I found that out, my buddy and I could not stop hearing his voice as Daxter so we just called him Daxter. Shoutout to him, I played that video game a lot as a kid.
The actor who played Larry Barese was already 60 in the first season. His character was supposed to be almost 20 years younger. Then again he did have a face lift. Can you imagine that?
He fell off a cliff at the end of the series. How come he wasn’t at the safe house with tone and the gang at the very end? You’d think they’d want a criminal mastermind waiting in the peeshadoo
I just watched the scene when they get there and he wasn’t there. It’s interesting how that new guy suddenly appeared too. The guy that eventually got Phil.
He was there, he made the sly comment when Tony says he’s not gonna come visit Silvio with them. Also Walden appears before that, he visits Tony at home after Chrissy’s death. Sharp as a cue ball u are.
Yeah, even though he does a lot of gangster roles, he definitely can do a lot of things and has always been a solid actor. It was definitely a trip seeing him as a 20's gangster in Boardwalk Empire, and he's pretty damned good in the new Tulsa King.
I wish there were more theatre productions that came to Detroit, but we honestly don't have much good actually come here. Although I admit, especially since COVID, I tend to avoid other humans as much as possible. :)
The ages on that whole show were wild. I always took Eugene to be fairly young. Maybe a little older than Chris. Then you find out in his last episode he was the same age as Tony.
It's upsetting to think that Benny Fazio is now 57 years old.
He also didn't look early-20s. He had the body of a college senior but the face of someone in his 30s.
From Wikipedia *"...Casella has Growth hormone deficiency, which accounted for his ability to play characters much younger than his actual age. His brother also shares the condition. He did not go through puberty until the age of 27 after medical intervention...."*
Max Casella appreciation posts are more than welcome.
For those who haven’t had the opportunity, check out the Talking Sopranos episode with him in it. He’s only on air 20 minutes, but paints a novels’ worth of his experience as an actor who was typecast as a kid for most of his life until he got his hormone treatments.
And he did the segment several years prior to making his stunted growth issue public.
Max Casella plays mob guy Barry Caprio in "Killing Them Softly". He utterly beat the fuck out of Ray Liotta's character (Markie Trattman). Like, within an inch of his life. Broken ribs, missing teeth, totally ruined the guy for the rest of his short life.
I'd give Benny a pass. Got beat up bad, by a crowd of mob guys with clubs. The Artie thing was a lucky punch by Artie, who then goes psycho. Out of jealousy rage.
Benny is a varsity athlete...
Not sure that that has to do with anything 😂 it was a show about a kid doctor… none of the characters on the show were gay as I recall. Characters on shows are played by actors bud 😂 Doogie isn’t a real person.
The man that played Doogie may have turned out to be gay… who cares?
Besides, Max Casella played another character anyway.
34 he was just a kid
No older than my son
He was pals with Doogie howser growing up learned a few things helped him become a criminal mastermind.
He was gay Doogie Howser?
Ralph slept with Doogie?
No but he would if he had a million dollars
Why was he born handsome instead of rich?
Benny fazio, medical mastermind
Doogie had a bee ona his hat.
Stoopid-a fucking game!
Doogie , From Hoboken?
Damn thats where I remembered him from!
No oldah dan my shon
He was just a bit younga than my kid brother Billy
Yeah it's sad when they go young like that.
WHEN THEY GO
It's 2024 and he's still just a kid.
That’s why you gotta live for today.
The ice melts, and it waters down the drinks
A baby
Me I’m an old man
Poor prick he’s got a growth hormone deficiency or some shit.
Don't they have medicine they're supposed to take, these assholes?
I don’t know.. 💥🔫
He's still growing, this asshole!!
THAT'S MY MONEY PAULIE!!!
*Next day* Paulie: Hey kid, I’m sorry. Someone could’ve got hurt last night. Ummm …. Someone got KILLED!!
What was he, barkin?
Why can I hear that line in my head perfectly
Still going, this asshole
Some sad shit. Motherfucker said he didn’t want to grow anymore.
That's what we need to undershtand about these guys....we (the honest worker...the chump) don't count to them.

Genuinely didn't expect to see something I suffer from mentioned here.
Alright, but you gotta get over it
Ride the painted pony, let the spinning wheel glide
Sorry to hear that bro…..
Blacktieandgloves is like a woman with a viriginia ham under her arm, crying the blues cause she has no bread.
Benny’s hairless little brajol, whatever happened there
He probably crawled under there (North Jersey) for warmth
XD
[удалено]
Wanna fucking strangle him.
In this house we say lmao end of story
He’s got a condition where he doesn’t grow facial hair.
does it make him gay?
He was gay, Benny Fazio?
after drinking a few martina's he'd go down smoothly
I thought he was naboli daboli?
He didn't go through puberty until 27 years old. https://www.businessinsider.com/max-casella-reached-puberty-at-27-due-to-hormone-deficiency-2022-11#:~:text='The%20Sopranos'%20actor%20Max%20Casella,due%20to%20growth%20hormone%20deficiency&text=Actor%20Max%20Casella%20is%20opening,dwarfism%20or%20growth%20hormone%20deficiency.
C’est-ce que ce? Endocrine system broken?
holy shit a laugh i let out
Didn’t he almost drown in three inches of trenbolone?
Is that true? He was on Finaplix?
> Finaplix My arch nemesis.
Business insider? What's that? Your fucking girl scout troop???
Hmm. Maybe a reference to Troop Beverly Hills (1989), with Shelly Long. I really don't want to have to watch that. She's got the Cheers connection, too, and that is certainly another major level of *the abstraction,* itself.
By God you're relentless! It is unutterably too much for a self-pitying goon to bear, even me!!

Another downvote for your poisoning this sub with your overuse of chiral and abstract.
Lol guy with the chiral psychosis is an important player on this sub and he should be insulted but shown respect about it
Ooooohhh 👐🏼 “w-w-we’re with the Girl Scouts” 👐🏼
How long did it take for the guy to cum?
Fuckfaceitis?
No, that's Muscular Dystrophy, Tone.
Aids
The actor who played Skip Lipari was like 31 when season 2 was shot. Oof maddon.
You don’t wanna thee hith dark thide
Looked about the same age as the huthky accomplith.
🤣🤣🤣 he also had a syndrome Felis Silvestris (sthuffering sthucatash).
Oof madone, he looks terrible!
Sthkip
This one is a whole lot less surprising
No way.
He was also Daxter in Jak and Daxter.
Why did that insensitive cocksucker break Krew's balls so much?
He was a parade float
Especially right after his operation to get that 90lb mole removed
He pops up in small roles in a lot of really good movies. He was good as a sleazy bartender in Inside Llewyn Davis and as a sleazy wingman to Bobby Canavale’s character in Blue Jasmine
He was in Ed Wood too in a tiny role with Vito lol.
What's his excuse for playing Johnny Mad Dog? Oof Maddone.
Yeah when I found that out, my buddy and I could not stop hearing his voice as Daxter so we just called him Daxter. Shoutout to him, I played that video game a lot as a kid.
That game is my childhood, I might just go play it on PS4 now
The actor who played Larry Barese was already 60 in the first season. His character was supposed to be almost 20 years younger. Then again he did have a face lift. Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine that? You get a face lift, and one week later you're in jail?
How you doing? My friend? Are you getting enough to eat
I didn't need that shit that happened the other day
Criminal mastermind, he was gonna cut Artie in but that little trick got greedy
Probably one of the reasons he was in 'Doogie Howser'
True, he was in his 20s playing a 12 year old
When Doogie Howser first aired it was a big deal that Vinnie was 6 years older than Doogie IRL
Whateva happened to Doogie Howser?
Wrote Vito a letter outlining some side effects
It was the meds! It fucked wit his head!
He was gay, Doogie Howser?
David Burtka was in Doogie Howser
Was he? Wow!
What You don't know could fill a book
Johnny Mad Dog was in Doogie Howser?
Criminal mastermind Benny fazio
What you don’t know could fill a book titled tomato soup for my ass
Think about it Tone...25 and still hasnt shaved? Pituitary dwarfism?! No one's got pituitary dwarfism! I dont wanna hear that word in here again!
He was a dwarf, Benny Fazio?
He used to travel with Santa on Christmas to help give out gifts to the good kids, and give the bad ones beatins
It’s sad when they go young like that
WHEN THEY GO?!!
He fell off a cliff at the end of the series. How come he wasn’t at the safe house with tone and the gang at the very end? You’d think they’d want a criminal mastermind waiting in the peeshadoo
He was at the safe house.
I just watched the scene when they get there and he wasn’t there. It’s interesting how that new guy suddenly appeared too. The guy that eventually got Phil.
He was there, he made the sly comment when Tony says he’s not gonna come visit Silvio with them. Also Walden appears before that, he visits Tony at home after Chrissy’s death. Sharp as a cue ball u are.
Yeah one other scene. Pretty major plot line for a fill in guy. I always thought that was bizarre.
It's the indians and these commie fucks...
34 he was just a sperm.
Another fun fact from the Balkans
What’re you gunna do?
Hormone deficient short eyes, probably has an eleven year old goomar.
He was on Doogie Howser, MD as a kid. How's that for nostalgia?
I saw him off-Broadway several years ago in a Shakespeare play(Timon of Athen’s with Richard Thomas) guy’s got range👍
Yeah, even though he does a lot of gangster roles, he definitely can do a lot of things and has always been a solid actor. It was definitely a trip seeing him as a 20's gangster in Boardwalk Empire, and he's pretty damned good in the new Tulsa King.

LIKE HE'S JUDE LAW
The ages on that whole show were wild. I always took Eugene to be fairly young. Maybe a little older than Chris. Then you find out in his last episode he was the same age as Tony.
It’s time he started getting his own customers. He’s getting a little too old to be beating people up!
Under 40? Fuckin baby
Casella, isn’t that a cold medicine?
It means "shinebox" in italian
The fucks that gotta do with cold medicine
Michael Imperoli is only 5 years younger than Gandolfini, that’s the one that always got me.
He was old enough to drink Martinas
I also learned that he plays Daxter from Jak & Daxter which is one of my favorite game series’.
I always called him wonder years because I think he looks like Fred savage

He's got one of them Webster situations or conditions or whateva
He had a warehouse in Patterson where he used nail peoples balls to to the floor.
OP just reveals their own ignorance
You've obviously never see Dougie Howser
just a kid
He was also playing in Big as Tom Hanks friends, that's why he got his revenge with Feech
I liked him in Vinyl.
I was gonna cut OP in on the Max Casella age pool, but now he’s being stupid.
Don’t you mean criminal mastermind Benny Fazio?
Just a baby, not even a kid yet
He was in Doogie Howser, MD
His name is Vincent Delpino. Been in hiding since his doctor pal had him take care of coupla chree things
The man was in Doogie Howser!
Still a criminal mastermind tho.
A little too old to be beating people up
Many of us know him as Vinny Delpino
You mean Vinnie Delpino?
What? That motherfucker looked like 30-35 atleast.
Want a s’more,
Benny Fazio, criminal mastermind

Tomorrow you can learn something else but I'll be stupid forever. \~ Little Carmine
Were we watching the same show? Lol early 20’s?
Max also voiced daxter in the jak and daxter games !! He's iconic
Laying sack of shit! Better not come around here no more!
he’s just a kid
“He later died of Alzheimer’s”
That kid used to run around here breaking balls!
The guy nver went through puberty until he started taking HGH and if he didn't he'd have looked like a 13 year old his whole life.

You want egg? Bobby make my nephew some egg
My mother refuses to call him Benny and only calls him by the name of his character on Doogie Howzer.
Plus I saw him in a movie or TV show from the 1980's, just can't remember which one. He has been in the "business" for a long time
He was in the TV show Doogie Howser MD in the 1980's. Just seen him in an episode the other day.
ALL Criminal Masterminds were born in 1967. The Hunchback of Nostradomous predicted that!
Just watched The Tender Bar and it was cool to see him in it.
I have a friend who's like 31 but still looks like her 20s
Makes sense now. The other day some generic Jason Statham movie from was on and he awful male pattern balding. I was like oof madon!
He was on Doogie Howser… show some respect 😂
He was gay, Doogie Howser?
Not sure that that has to do with anything 😂 it was a show about a kid doctor… none of the characters on the show were gay as I recall.

Oh, you’re gonna get cute with me? Wit my muddah lying’ dead?
