BOSOM BUDDIES: Steve Schirripa (left) hanging out with "Sopranos" soul brother James Gandolfini in Tribeca.
I Met Jim for the first time at the read-through when I first got hired for "The Sopranos."
The first scene I ever did on the show was at the store Satriale's, where Bobby walks in and says something like, "To the victor belongs the spoils," and Tony says something like, "Get outta here before I shove your quotation book up your fat f--king ass!"
He was trying his best to scare me, but you didn't have to do much acting with Jim, because it was all there — he was a big, intimidating guy, but he was really trying to help me the best he could because I was nervous.
It was my first scene with all the stars of the show, and I didn't know anyone. Jim made me feel at home immediately. That's the way he was — he was the boss, not only on the show, but he was the leader, and it trickled down.
He always tried to make you better, which sounds like a cliché, but it's true.
I remember another early scene I had, with Uncle Junior, Dominic Chianese. It was late at night in Newark — I remember it like it was yesterday — and when we called it a night, Jim drove by with his driver in his SUV, and as he went by, he waved at me and I said, "I'll see you, Jim." And he had the driver back the car all the way up, got out, hugged me and said, "We'll see you again."
I'll never forget that.
