Tim Daly says getting killed off on The Sopranos "was my favorite scene"

Daly discussed how he ended up playing down-on-his-luck screenwriter with Michael Imperioli and Steven Schirripa on the Talking Sopranos podcast. Daly says he was friends with David Chase and even screened the pilot at his home, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Every season, he would call me and say, ‘Hey, do you want to come do a part on Sopranos?’ And I would say, ‘Hell yeah!’ And then he would talk himself out of it mid-conversation,” Daly said, adding that the character was partly based on Chase.
