Patrick, who recurred as Davey Scatino on The Sopranos, recalled on the Talking Sopranos podcast telling Gandolfini "you better bring your f*cking A-game" to their beatdown scene, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "And he looked at me said, ‘Oh, I’ll bring my f*cking A-game,'" said Patrick adding that Gandolfini "came in and said, ‘How’s your balls?’ I said, ‘They’re fine.’ And he said, ‘I’m hungover, let’s do this fucking scene.' And man, it was one take. And he scared the living sh*t out of me. I was so intimidated. What a fantastic experience."
