Michael Imperioli: Renaissance Man
59m | Mar 4, 2024While many people identify Award Winning Actor Michael Imperioli with his role of Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos, or more recently, as Dominic Di Grasso, on The White Lotus, his talent stretches far beyond his thespian roots. He has written screenplays, novels and episodes of television. He has developed Television shows, plays in a band, practices Buddhism and has run his own theater with his wife. He is an artist’s artist.
Far from the hot-headed Moltisanti, Michael ponders, jokes and waxes philosophically with me. He also tells some pretty great stories of how his early career opportunities, like Goodfellas, changed the course of his career and introduced him to talents like Spike Lee. And how the super stardom of The Sopranos did not answer all of his prayers, paving his path to Buddhism. Like the rest of the actors I’ve sat down with on 10,000 NOs, he is not immune to rejection and travels the same winding trail as his less famous counterparts.
10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond). Be on the look out as, every now and then, we will likely drop some old school, long-form, classic 10,000 NOs interviews as bonus episodes.
