J.T. Walsh in the Sopranos

Well, had he made it past 1998 I think he could have easily been in the Sopranos tv series, in fact I would be almost willing to bet that JT would have made a great guy playing a gangster perhaps another con-artist role. But than again he also made an excellent detective, so it could have swung that way.

Your thoughts on this issue, don't be bashful, jumpin and do what JT would have done, be opinionated...

Do you think he would have taken a role on Sopranos? I mean he was so drawn in 97 and 98 into shaking that character role image and getting some feature roles. He once told me "I asked Jack for advice on how to break free from my character role status, and he told me in Jack fashion..Kid i was makin 5000 a picture until Easy Rider came along..you will find your Easy Rider..."

Well unfortunately many actors don't make a lot. Consider that they have to pay a publicist, manager, agent and that is just the start. Some may have security people they have to pay and it all continues from those basics, so there are many expenses that actors have besides the production stuff that they might have to pay for out-of-pocket. Being an actor also is a shaky job too. Actors no matters how big or small are always looking ahead to see if they will fall from grace...I have been told this is an inherent fear all acting talents suffer of.
