The Sopranos he found the “most brutal” and “difficult” to shoot.The actor, who played Christopher Moltisanti in the HBO series, recalled filming his death scene at the hands of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) in the show’s final season.“That wasn’t really brutal at all, I’ll be honest with you,” Imperioli told the Guardian. “When we shot it, it wasn’t my last day either because we shot out of sequence.”The actor went onto explain that the scenes where his character had to be physically abusive to Adriana (Drea de Matteo) were the most challenging.“The most brutal, difficult stuff for me is when Christopher had to be physically abusive with Adriana, for obvious reasons,” he added.“On a technical level, you’re trying to be really careful so you don’t hurt the person. But having to get to that point of violence towards a woman, you have to go to some nasty places to get there.
