His son Michael told Jim Axelrod that he was well aware of the enormous undertaking from the start.

He’s not that yet. You can’t yell at the principal like you’re 30,'” Gandolfini said. “So that is a way I felt the pressure, and I wanted to give [the fans] the Tony they had all seen. But I had to remember to pull back, too.

It wasn’t the dad who I knew,” Gandolfini said. “So in many ways, it was fun to watch him explore this complete character.
