'The Sopranos' Creator David Chase Initially Doubted James Gandolfini's Ability To Be "Threatening"

James Gandolfini only had a few minor film credits and only two television credits (one in a made-for-TV movie), before snagging the role of Tony Soprano in The Sopranos. An actor with no major roles rarely hits the jackpot with a starring role on television. However, Gandolfini beat the odds and became one of the most recognizable faces on the small screen from 1999-2007. Yet, it took some convincing before The Sopranos creator, David Chase, knew he'd found the series' leading guy. It stands out that Chase acknowledged that the actor wasn't lacking in the talent category; it was all about whether he was "threatening enough."
