: While we're on the subject of gays, I don't know if you've heard yet, but Prop 8 passed. The fact that we're still surviving is just a tribute to Blake Masters. For some reason, they don't put any posters out. Like when The Sopranos had a season premiere, there were posters on every bus. You see more stuff for Dexter and Californication. I don't want to say anything bad, but I wish they'd advertise it more. But this season concentrated very heavily on their family aspects and so we'll see what happens. We only did eight episodes this season, I'm very sorry to say, and hopefully it'll get picked up for another and we'll take it from there. : Will we see more of you this season? This obviously opens up doors to storylines and a backstory.
When I play gay guys, and I've done it before, I just basically kind of keep it pretty straight and just add a teeny element here and there. I didn't really change my speech or my vocal patterns, maybe a little subtle. I just changed my mindset that I like sex with men. I'm really good friends with lots of gay people and I work with them all the time, so I just basically.didn't do much. I've been in show business a long, long time. The way I act in everything is to emulate truth and people I know. : You don't see a lot of gay characters in mob shows. Sapienza: Pretty much, but subtle blackmailing, within the confines of the law. They were just like, "We want it to come out that he's gay and Tommy will find out about it and he'll use that information to his advantage." How about I tell you that? Tommy Caffey will use that information wherever and whenever he has to use it to get me to do things for his favor. : Was it just Mayor Cicilline that inspired them to come up with that? Or was there more? You delve into things that you wouldn't normally delve into in real life. I love to play murderers I love to play anything that's different because it's really exciting. I love roles that are different than what I am. : What was your reaction? Were you surprised? It's taken three years to reveal it. At the end of last season, we were doing looping and mixing, the creator, Blake Masters, and the writer, we were there, and they said, "You know what? If we go to a third season, the mayor is gonna be gay."
So my character was a pretty macho guy with an edge. He's an Italian and you wouldn't know it by looking at him or hearing him speak, he's a very hetereosexual-looking guy, but he's gay. The present mayor of Providence is David Cicilline. : The premiere was last week - some big revelations. See what else the actor, currently starring on a stage production of Dirty Dancing, has to say about the revelation, how it will factor into this season's storylines, and why Brotherhood is (gasp!) better than The Sopranos in some ways. "I was like, 'Really? That's gonna be challenging, but it's gonna be fun,' Al Sapienza, who plays Panzarella, tells. Brotherhood may ultimately be Tommy and Michael Caffey's story, but someone else stole the show last Sunday on the Showtime mob drama: Mayor Frank Panzarella, who came out as gay in the third season premiere.
